WEATHER (6:00 AM, March 16): Increased cloudiness and scattered showers expected next 24-36 hrs

The presence of a frontal trough and a mid-level trough is expected to affect most of the Lesser Antilles during the next 24 to 36 hours. This is expected to produce increased cloudiness and scattered showers across the northern and southern portions of the island chain from today.

During tonight, the dissipating frontal trough (shearline) is projected to generate an increase in moisture levels across Dominica.

Slight to moderate seas are anticipated during the next 24 hours with waves peaking to 5.0ft. However, an increase in northerly swells can be expected to affect the northern and western coasts by late Tuesday into Wednesday. Small craft operators, sea bathers and people living near or traversing coastal areas are advised to be vigilant.
