WEATHER (6:00 AM, Jan 21): Trough system affecting Dominica

A trough system is expected to affect the island over the next 24 to 48 hours, bringing increased moisture and instability. As a result, cloudy skies with periods of showers are expected, with some showers becoming moderate to heavy at times. Breezy conditions will also persist throughout the week. Persons living in areas susceptible to flooding, landslides, and falling rocks should take the necessary precautions.

Sea conditions will remain moderate, with wave heights reaching around 5 feet along the west coast and up to 10 feet along the east coast and in open waters. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect. Mariners and other sea users, particularly along the eastern coastline, are urged to remain cautious.
