72 Hours Outlook

Unstable conditions will continue to generate cloudy to overcast skies and trigger some pockets of light to moderate showers across SVG during Saturday night. This is due to the availability of low-level moisture coupled with a favourable upper level environment. Residents and motorists in areas prone to flooding and landslides or near rivers and streams should remain alert. Similar conditions are anticipated on Sunday before a ridge pattern attempts to regain dominance towards late evening. A few brief passing showers are expected on Monday and Tuesday.  Moderate to fresh(20-30km/h) east north easterly trades will cross the islands within this forecast period with slight increase in speeds possible near showers. Seas are currently moderate in open water with swells peaking near 1.5m on western coasts and up to 2.5m on eastern coasts. Small craft operators and sea bathers should continue to exercise caution for above normal sea swells and occasional gusty winds. Sea conditions could begin to improve during Sunday. In addition, varying intensities of Saharan dust haze are crossing our islands and this is expected to remain noticeable within the next few days.
