The Atlantic high pressure system continues to be the dominant feature across the island chain resulting in a moderate to fresh trade winds flow. Low level clouds moving along this wind flow is likely to result in occasional showers. The moisture associated with these low level clouds is not impressive, but a favourable mid to upper level environment is likely to enhance cloud development. Therefore, generally cloudy skies and the likelihood of some moderate showers are forecast for the remainder of the day and tomorrow. An improvement in weather conditions is likely on Sunday.
Predominantly, a fresh (30km/h – 40km/h) east north easterly wind flow will be experienced today, becoming easterly by Saturday and decreasing in speed to approximately 25km/h – 35km/h by Sunday afternoon. Moderate sea conditions, with swells peaking to 1.5m on the west coast and 2.5m on the east coast, are forecast with a gradual improvement possible from Sunday into Monday. Small craft-operators and sea-bathers should exercise caution for above normal swells.
Slight haze intrusion is forecast for Sunday.
