Outlook

Fair to occasionally cloudy skies, breezy conditions and occasional isolated showers are anticipated across SVG within the next 24-48 hours as the Atlantic high pressure system exerts its dominance across the Eastern Caribbean. Shortly after(by Monday evening), a tropical wave should begin to affect our islands. Saharan dust haze would persist across the weekend but models suggest that concentrations could slightly reduce by late Saturday.

Fresh/strong(~35-40km/h) and generally easterly to east north easterly trades will cross the islands during the next 72 hours. The wind direction could shift temporarily to east south easterly late Sunday into early Monday. Seas are currently moderate with swells peaking up to 1.5m on western coasts and near 2.5m on eastern coasts. As the breezy conditions persist, seas will likely remain agitated, therefore small craft operators and sea bathers should exercise caution for above normal sea swells and occasional gusty winds especially on the eastern coasts.
