The Atlantic high pressure system will remain the dominant feature within the next 48 hours. Fair to occasionally cloudy skies should persist with a low to medium chance of showers. These showers are expected to be brief and shortlived. By late Saturday unstable conditions will begin to affect islands. Light to moderate showers are forecast as upper levels will become favourable.
Fresh(~35km/h) easterly to east north easterly trades will cross the islands and increase to strong(near 40km/h) from Friday. Consequently, sea conditions will remain moderate in open water with swells peaking near 1.5m on western coasts and near 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. Slight dust haze concentrations are anticipated around Saturday.
