Weather Outlook for Dominica and the Lesser Antilles
Valid from: 6:00 PM on Wednesday, October 9, 2024
A ridge pattern is expected to be the dominant feature across the area during the next 24 hours. This together with a plume of Saharan dust, is expected to result in a relatively dry atmosphere.
An increase in Saharan dust is expected during the period into the weekend. This is expected to result in a decrease in air quality and visibility. People with respiratory sensitivities are advised to take the necessary precautions to avoid complications.
Hurricane Leslie, located in the central Atlantic, continues to be monitored. This system is expected to remain over open water and pose no direct threat to the region.
Northeasterly swells are expected to persist along the eastern coastline during the next 48 hours. Slight to moderate seas, with swells reaching up to 7 feet, are expected. Small-craft operators and sea bathers along the northern through eastern coast should exercise caution due to onshore breaking wave action.
