A succession of tropical waves will move across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines beginning from today. The waves will dominate the weather pattern across SVG into the weekend. The first wave is affecting the islands today, and a few scattered showers are expected as the day progresses into tonight. Friday may tend to be mostly fair, but by Friday night, another wave will be in the vicinity resulting in moderate scattered showers into Saturday. Another wave will be affecting the islands on Sunday producing similar weather conditions.
Winds will blow from the east northeast (ENE) to east (E) at approximately 20km/h- 30km/h, increasing in speed to roughly 30km/h - 45km/h over the weekend.
