TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
Weak unstable conditions associated with a mid to upper-level trough and a tropical wave will cause some scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms mainly over the southern half of the Lesser Antilles, during the forecast period.
Saharan dust haze in varying concentrations will impact visibility and air quality across the region, during the next couple of days.
Another tropical wave associated with an area of low pressure located over the eastern Tropical Atlantic, is moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h. This system has a low chance of tropical cyclone formation, during the next several days.
