Outlook

Occasional cloudy skies, intermittent showers and possible isolated thunderstorms are anticipated into tonight as a trough approaches our islands.

Conditions should become more pleasant by mid-afternoon Saturday. Showers and thunderstorms are forecast across Sunday afternoon while partly cloudy skies with a few isolated showers are expected on Monday. No significant Saharan dust haze intrusion is expected during this forecast period.

Moderate to fresh (~20-30 km/h) east south easterly trades are crossing our islands, but should shift to east north easterly on Saturday. A slight increase (~35 km/h) in speed is expected from Sunday.  Seas are slight to moderate in open water with swells heights peaking to 1.0 m on western coasts and ranging between 1.5 m to 1.8 m on eastern coasts. Small craft operators and sea bathers should exercise caution for above normal sea swells.
