72 Hours Outlook

The Atlantic high pressure system is the dominant feature and should persist for the next 48 hours allowing for relatively fair conditions and a few passing showers. On Wednesday, unstable conditions associated with a trough will produce some moderate showers. In addition, no significant Saharan dust haze concentrations is anticipated during this forecast period.

Moderate to fresh (~20-30 km/h) north easterly to east north easterly trades are crossing our islands with occasional gusts. Wind speeds will decrease (~10-25 km/h) from Monday into midweek. Seas are moderate in open waters with swells peaking at 1.5m on the western coasts and near 2.0 m on the eastern coasts. Marine users should exercise caution for above normal sea wells especially on eastern coasts. Sea conditions should improve and return to slight to moderate from Monday.
