Weather Outlook for Dominica and the Lesser Antilles

Issued: 6:00 PM on Wednesday, February 22, 2012

A ridge of high pressure is the dominant feature. The Atlantic High pressure system is generating a brisk easterly wind flow across the Eastern Caribbean. A relatively dry atmosphere will limit any shower activity resulting in generally fair conditions over the islands.

 

Sea conditions are expected to be moderate to rough with swells peaking near 10 feet. A small craft warning is now in effect for above normal sea swells. Small craft operators and all users of the sea should exercise caution.
