Over the next few days, Hurricane Teddy will continue its northwest track at 13mph (21km/h) over the Atlantic, with further development likely over the next 12 hours. Currently Teddy poses no direct threat to St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG). Nevertheless, its presence and its north westward movement will allow for a light wind regime to develop across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Similar weather conditions experienced today remain a possibility for tomorrow as these light winds coupled with day time heating increases the potential for localised activity. On Saturday a shearline associated with a feeder band from Hurricane Teddy could trigger some showers and thunderstorm activity across our islands while pleasant conditions could return on Sunday.
From Friday, a light southerly wind flow will allow for moisture to move over SVG, as TS Teddy continues on its north-westward track. This southerly flow will continue across the weekend with only slight increase(~10-25km/h) as Sunday approaches.
Sea conditions are moderate(1.5m-2.5m) in open water. A slight deterioration is forecast from tonight onward with northerly swells moving along the eastern coasts. Small craft operators and sea bathers are advised to exercise extreme caution for above normal sea swells. In addition, varying concentrations of Saharan dust haze would be visible within the next 72 hours.
