TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

Moist and unstable conditions, in the wake of a tropical wave will produce a few showers over the region during the forecast period.  

A plume of Saharan dust haze trailing the tropical wave is expected to reduce visibility and air quality over the Lesser Antilles from tomorrow, Thursday.

A tropical wave several hundred miles southwest of Cabo Verde is producing disorganized activity. Conditions are forecast to be conducive for development into a tropical depression later this week as it moves west to west-northwest across the central Atlantic.

Another area of disturbance also southwest of Cabo Verde is producing disorganized activity. Chance of further development is low over the next several days as it moves west to west-northwest across the central Atlantic.

Interests in Saint Lucia and the rest of the region should closely monitor these systems.
