TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
The Atlantic High-pressure system will generate moderate easterly winds across the Lesser Antilles, during the next couple of days. Patches of low-level cloud drifting along this wind flow, will cause brief showery spells over the islands, during the late night and early morning hours.
A plume of Saharan dust haze will continue to cause a reduction in air quality and visibility across the Eastern Caribbean region, over the next few days.
A tropical wave associated with an area of disturbed weather, is located over the central Tropical Atlantic. This system is moving westward near 17 mph or 28 km/h and some development is possible, as it approaches the Lesser Antilles by the beginning or the middle of next week.
Another tropical wave located over the eastern Tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 21 mph or 33 km/h.
