Concentrations of Saharan dust across St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) have thinned to slight haze and low-level clouds brought a few showers across mainland St.Vincent, during the latter part of this afternoon. Scattered showers are expected tonight, with an approaching tropical wave bringing a few showers by early Sunday. Upper-level features could support periods of rain, scattered showers and thunderstorm activity towards Sunday evening into the night…Be alert in areas prone to flash-flooding, or near rivers and streams. Moderate haze could return early Monday, with poor visibility/air-quality across SVG. Increased cloudiness and more showers are likely Monday night, intermixing with hazy conditions into
Tuesday.
Gentle to moderate (15 – 25 km/h) east south-easterly wind-flow continues across our islands. Light east north-easterly breeze is expected by Sunday morning, gradually increasing (20 – 30 km/h) towards evening. Fresh to occasionally strong (30 – 40 km/h) north-easterly breeze is expected Sunday night and possibly surging (40 – 50 km/h) during Monday morning, before returning to moderate/fresh east north-easterly breeze…Be alert in wind-exposed areas.
Slight sea-conditions range 0.5 m to 1.2 m on western coasts and moderate sea-conditions are up to 1.5 m on eastern coasts of SVG, with east north-easterly swells. Temporary rise in swell heights can be expected during Monday (1.2 m – 1.8 m on western coasts and 1.8 m – 2.5 m on eastern coasts) in response to increased wind speeds…Small craft-operators and sea-bathers should exercise caution for reduced visibility, above normal sea-swells and occasional gusty winds.
