Weather Outlook 28th March 2020 (6 pm)

The Atlantic High Pressure System is rebuilding across the islands. Weak instability is expected to cross our area early Sunday morning with a few showers, followed by dry/stable conditions across St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG). Isolated brief showers are likely late Sunday and a weak pulse could bring partly cloudy skies with a few showers Monday night.

Moderate to occasionally fresh (25 - 40 km/h) northeasterly trade-winds are expected tonight, temporarily decreasing to moderate (20 - 30 km/h) between Monday and Tuesday.

Sea conditions across our islands are slight to moderate, with swells ranging 0.5 to 1.2 m on the west coasts and up to 2.0 m on the east coasts

with northeasterly swells. A slight rise (temporary) in swell heights is likely from Sunday afternoon until late Monday and easterly swells are expected by Tuesday.

72 hours outlook

A ridge pattern would remain the dominant feature during this forecast period. A few showers are likely early during the early parts of Tuesday and Thursday as weak pulses within the wind flow crosses our islands. In addition, slight Saharan dust haze concentrations will cross our islands on Tuesday and increase by Wednesday, reducing air quality and visibility across our islands.

Moderate to fresh (~20-30 km/h) easterly trades are crossing our islands. An east south easterly shift is expected by Thursday afternoon before shifting to east north easterly from Wednesday. Seas are slight to moderate in open waters with swells ranging between 1.2m to 2.0m. Small craft operators and sea bathers should exercise caution for above normal sea swells.
