72 Hours Outlook

Unstable conditions continue to cross our islands with the aid of a favourable upper level environment. Showers, some of which could be moderate at times are anticipated with rain and possible isolated thunderstorms for the remainder of Monday. A flash flood watch is in effect for SVG until 6pm today. All residents should be prepared. Conditions should gradually improve into midweek.

Moderate to fresh (~20 to 35km/h) east south-easterly trades are currently crossing our islands with occasional gusts. An increase (~40 km/h) in speed is expected on Saturday, whereas speeds should decrease (~15-25kmh) along Monday. Seas are slight to moderate in open water with swells ranging between 1.0m to 2.2m. Small craft operators and sea bathers should exercise caution for above normal sea swells. Sea conditions should improve from Tuesday. In addition, varying concentrations of Saharan dust haze will cross our islands within the next 2 days before thinning out on Thursday.
