Day time heating coupled with light winds and equatorial moisture resulted in a few moderate showers and isolated thunderstorms across St. Vincent & the Grenadines during mid-afternoon today. Similar conditions are anticipated across Monday afternoon as conditions are likely to remain warm and winds speeds relatively low. Models suggest that late Tuesday, a Tropical Storm(Wiflred) that poses no direct threat to SVG should weaken, however its associated instability may influence our weather pattern into Wednesday.
Gentle(10-20km/h) south easterly trades are anticipated tonight and across tomorrow, slightly decreasing on occasions. The wind direction should turn east north easterly by late Monday.
Northerly swells are expected along the coastal waters of SVG tonight, which are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip currents. Small craft operators and sea-bathers should exercise extreme caution for these northerly swells, peaking near 1.5 m on western coasts and near 2.5 m on eastern coasts. Swell heights could become slight to moderate(1.0-2.0m) by late Monday
