Weather Outlook for Dominica and the Lesser Antilles
Valid from: 6:00 AM on Thursday, July 28, 2022
A high-pressure system is expected to result in occasional cloudiness, breezy conditions, and a few passing showers during the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, a tropical wave currently in the Atlantic Ocean will begin to affect the area by Friday. Unstable conditions associated with this wave can be expected to pass over the northern portion of the chain on Friday. Moisture trailing this wave is expected to result in an increase in cloudiness with scattered showers and a chance of isolated thunderstorms from Saturday into Sunday.
Dust haze in varying concentrations will be evident during the next 24 hours. People with respiratory sensitivities should take the necessary precautions to avoid complications.
Slight to moderate seas are anticipated during the next 24 hours, with waves peaking at 7.0ft in eastern coastal waters.
Please note that a greater degree of cloudiness, more frequent rainfall, and higher rainfall amounts are normally experienced across the east coast and interior of Dominica.
