WEATHER UPDATE (6:00 AM, June 26): Showers, thunderstorm activity expected tomorrow, tropical wave next week

Lingering moisture and instability following the passage of a tropical wave, together with the presence of an upper level trough, are expected to continue to produce cloudiness, with periods of light to moderate showers and possible isolated thunderstorm activity mainly across the southern portion of the island chain during morning.

People in areas prone to landslides and falling rocks are advised to be vigilant during the period.

Another tropical wave expected to produce a few showers across the area on Sunday. Meanwhile, a strong tropical wave located in the far Eastern Atlantic is being monitored for development and is expected to affect the island by Wednesday of next week.

Dust haze will continue to linger in varying concentration across the area during the next few days. People with respiratory sensitivities are advised to continue taking the necessary precautions to avoid complications.

Moderate seas are anticipated during the next 24 hours with waves peaking near 7.0ft.
