Saharan dust haze will continue to cause a reduction in air quality and visibility across the Eastern Caribbean region for the next day or two.
An area of low pressure has developed along a tropical wave located over the central tropical Atlantic. This wave is moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h and is expected to begin affecting the region from late Saturday.
Another westward-moving tropical wave located over the far eastern tropical Atlantic has a low chance of development during the next five days.
