The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Services is monitoring the progress of a strong tropical wave a few hundred miles east of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) as of 2 pm this afternoon. Although forecast models suggest that development is becoming unlikely as the system approaches the Windward Islands, late tonight, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is likely to experience some moderate showers, becoming heavy by Tuesday morning with gusty winds and possible isolated thunderstorms. In addition, rainfall accumulations of 1 to 2 inches (25 to 50 millimeters) are possible. As a result, some flash-flooding are likely in low-lying areas.
By Tuesday night, a plume of Saharan Dust will intrude the area resulting in mostly hazy conditions with scattered showers around Wednesday.
Winds will be occasionally fresh tonight (~35km/h) blowing from the east north east (ENE), becoming south easterly (SE) by tomorrow behind the axis of the tropical wave. A decrease in wind speeds will be noticeable tomorrow (15km/h-25km/h) regaining strength around Wednesday to approximately 40km/h.
Moderate sea conditions with swells peaking to 1.5m on the western coasts and 2.0m on the eastern coasts are forecast during the next 72 hours.
