Occasionally cloudy skies under breezy conditions will prevail across St Vincent & the Grenadines tonight as a weak shearline crosses the islands. Saharan dust concentrations of varying intensities will continue to traverse the island chain for the remainder of the week, reducing air quality and also potentially decreasing the chance of showers. Two tropical waves in the Central Atlantic are forecast to affect SVG. One is anticipated around Wednesday night and the other around Thursday night. Models suggests mainly the latter of the two should produce moderate showers as it reaches our islands.
Winds will generally be from the east (E) at approximately 25-40km/h, backing to east north-east (ENE) on occasions. Seas will remain slight to moderate in open waters with swells peaking at 1.0m on the western coasts and ranging between 2.0m – 2.2m on the eastern coasts during the next 72 hours period. Small craft operators should exercise caution for reduced visibility in dust haze.
