Weather Outlook 15th April 2019 (12 noon)
Weak instability approaching our islands could result in partly cloudy skies becoming cloudy at times with some scattered showers this evening into Tuesday. By mid- week, the Atlantic High Pressure System could be struggling to rebuild north of the island chain and a few scattered showers should be confined to the Southern Grenadines area due to a shearline feature.
Meanwhile, Low Pressure Systems in the North Atlantic with associated cold-front trails should be across the Atlantic Basin. A northward shift of the shearline feature, to be across the Windward Islands on Thursday and marginal increase in moisture at mid-levels could result in scattered showers across our area by evening.
Wind speeds have decreased, as the High Pressure is struggling to re-build, thus generally moderate (20 - 35km/h) easterly trades are expected across our islands this afternoon. Over the next few days, moderate to fresh (25 – 40km/h) north-easterly trades should move across our area during the night-time.
The rise in wave heights is delayed due to reduction in wind speeds therefore the caution has been discontinued. East north-easterly sea-swells between 0.6m and 1.2m are now expected on west coasts, while east coasts can expect sea-swells between 1.2 and 2.0m until Thursday.
Barometric readings should range between 1012mb and 1016mb across our area over the next few days.
Slight haze due to a thin film of dust concentrations across our area, should be cleared by Friday.
