Saharan dust haze concentrations will continue to cross the islands within the next few days, reducing air quality and visibility. Residents should remain alert. Currently dry atmospheric conditions would result in relatively fair weather during the next 24 hours. A weak shearline is expected to trigger a few showers on Saturday. Warm conditions are forecast for Sunday.

Moderate to strong (25-40km/h) easterly to east north easterly trades will cross the islands within the next two days. Seas will be moderate in open waters with swells peaking at 1.5m on the western coasts and range between 2.0m to 2.5m on the eastern coasts. Small craft operators should continue to exercise caution for above normal sea swells and reduced visibiltiy to dust haze. Sea conditions could begin to improve as early as Saturday evening.
