The Atlantic High Pressure System is the dominant feature and few cloud patches with isolated showers are likely across St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG). A weak pulse is expected to approach the islands late Thursday, increasing the chance for a few showers. Slight/moderate haze due to Saharan dust concentrations of varying intensity lingers across our islands.

Moderate to fresh (20 – 35 km/h) east south-easterly wind-flow could occasionally increase near 40 km/h and higher gusts are likely by Thursday night into the weekend. Wind directions are expected to turn east north-easterly during the weekend.

Slight to moderate sea-conditions

with north-easterly swells ranging 0.6 m to 1.2 m on western coasts and east south-easterly swells near 1.8 m are on eastern coasts of SVG. Slight rise in swell heights can be expected (near 1.2m on western coasts and 2.0 m on eastern coasts) by Saturday. Over the next few days…Small-craft operators should exercise caution for reduced visibility and air-quality due to moderate haze.
