WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High-Pressure System will generate moderate to brisk easterly winds and locally rough seas across the Eastern Caribbean region, during the next few days.
A tropical wave located just east of the Lesser Antilles, is moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h, and is expected to affect mainly the southern half of our region, during the next 24 hours.
A plume of Saharan dust haze is expected to reduce visibility and air quality across the Eastern Caribbean, following the passage of the tropical wave.
Another tropical wave located over the eastern Tropical Atlantic, is also moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h.
