72 Hours Outlook

A shearline will generate cloudy skies and trigger some scattered moderate showers from late Friday into Saturday. As instability trails the passing shearline a few passing showers are also likely on occasions on Sunday. Relatively fair conditions should return by Monday afternoon.

Fresh to strong (~30-40km/h) east north easterly trades are crossing the islands with occasional gusts. Wind speeds should slightly decrease (~25-35km/h) from Sunday but and then shift to east south easterly from Monday. In addition, seas should remain moderate to rough within the next 48 hours. Only vessels capable of withstanding swells of these magnitudes should venture out. Sea bathers should exercise extreme caution for above normal swells. Sea conditions may become generally moderate on Monday. On Sunday varying concentrations of Saharan dust haze concentrations should begin to cross the islands.
