Weather Outlook for Dominica and the Lesser Antilles
Valid from: 6:00 AM on Wednesday 13 August 2025
A high-pressure system is the dominant feature across the island. However, a weak trough affecting the southern portion of the island chain could spread some moisture across the area, mainly during the morning and overnight periods. This could result in occasional cloudy skies with a few showers and a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms.
A reduction in Saharan dust concentration can be expected this afternoon. People with respiratory issues should continue to take precautions to protect their health. Mariners are advised to carry navigation devices.
Seas will be slight to moderate with waves up to 3 feet along the west coast and up to 7 feet along the east coast.
At 5 am, the centre of Tropical Storm Erin was located near latitude 16.5 North, longitude 41.9 West or about 1400 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands. Erin is moving toward the west at 20 mph. A west-northwestward motion is expected beginning Thursday night and continuing into the weekend. On the forecast track, the centre of Erin is likely to move near or just north of the northern Leeward Islands over the weekend. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph with higher gusts. Erin will likely become a hurricane by late Thursday. Tropical-storm-force winds now extend outward up to 60 miles from the centre. Residents in the Lesser Antilles should continue to closely monitor the progress of this system.
