Weather Outlook for Dominica and the Lesser Antilles

Valid from: 6:00 AM on Tuesday, October 15, 2024

A ridge pattern is now dominant across the area resulting in a relatively dry atmosphere with brief showers and a slight chance of late afternoon thunderstorms.

Saharan dust in varying concentrations is expected to persist over the next few days. People with respiratory sensitivities are advised to take the necessary precautions to avoid complications.

Meanwhile, a low-pressure system near the central Tropical Atlantic is being monitored for further development. This disturbance could approach the Leeward Islands by the end of the week. 

Slight to moderate seas, with swells near 5 feet, are expected during the next 24 hours.
