Lingering moisture and instability in the wake of a tropical wave, will cause cloudiness with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over the Lesser Antilles, during the next 24 hours.

An increase in Saharan dust haze will cause a reduction in visibility and air quality across the Eastern Caribbean region, during the forecast period.

A tropical wave located over the eastern tropical Atlantic, is moving westward near 17 mph or 28 km/h.
