Weather Outlook for Dominica and the Lesser Antilles
Valid from: 6:00 PM on Monday, February 1, 2021
The Atlantic high-pressure system is expected to be dominant across the area during the next 24 to 36 hours producing strong surface winds. Low level clouds moving with the wind flow are expected to result in a few showers, during the period.
From overnight Wednesday and into Thursday, unstable atmospheric conditions are expected to generate an increase in shower activity across Dominica.
Moderate to rough seas are anticipated during the next 24 to 48 hours, with northerly swells of up to 12.0ft expected to continue affecting the island coastlines into tomorrow.
A Small Craft Warning and a High Surf Warning are in effect. All sea users and people living near or traversing coastal areas should remain vigilant and exercise extreme caution. Sea-bathers should stay out of the water.
A Small Craft Warning means that winds-speeds of 25kts /46km/h or higher and/or seas of 3m/ 10ft or greater are forecast to affect the marine area.
A High Surf Warning is issued when dangerous breaking wave action poses a threat to life and property within the surf zone.
