72 Hours Outlook

The Atlantic high pressure system is dominating the weather pattern across our islands. Fair to occasionally cloudy skies can be expected during Friday afternoon with a chance of isolated showers, whereas few sporadic showers are anticipated along Saturday. On Sunday, a tropical wave should begin to affect the islands. Instability trailing this wave will trigger a few showers on Monday.

Moderate to fresh (~20 -30 km/h) easterly to east south-easterly trades are crossing the islands, temporarily decreasing (~15-25km/h) on Saturday. Winds will become east north easterly along Sunday. Seas are slight to moderate in open water with swells peaking near 1.0m on western coasts and ranging between 1.5 m and 2.0 m on eastern coasts. Saharan dust haze concentrations should gradually thin out by Saturday evening.
