Saharan dust seen from Castle Comfort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A high pressure system is expected to produce occasional cloudiness across parts of the Lesser Antilles during the next 24 hours. Reduced moisture levels and the presence of Saharan dust haze are expected to result in limited shower activity across the area..<\/p>\n

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