Weather Outlook for Dominica and the Lesser Antilles
Valid from: 6:00 AM on Friday, September 10, 2021
A trough system is expected to support occasional cloudiness with a few scattered showers across the area during the next 24 hours.
By Saturday into Sunday, a tropical wave is expected to generate an increase in moisture and instability particularly across the northern half of the Lesser Antilles, including Dominica, resulting in an increase in cloudiness with showers and possible thunderstorm activity.
Dust haze is expected to linger across the area in varying concentrations over the next few days. People with respiratory sensitivities should take all precautions to minimize complications.
Moderate seas are anticipated during the next 24 hours, with waves peaking to near 7.0ft. Small-craft operators and sea-bathers along the northern coastline should continue to exercise caution.
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.
