The SVG Met Office in its 72 Hour Outlook says occasional scattered light to moderate showers are forecast across SVG on Thursday (today), and into the weekend as a shear line dominates the weather pattern across the islands.

Model guidance is indicating 1 inch of accumulated rainfall by Saturday night. Sunday should be mostly fair.

Winds will blow generally from the east north east (ENE) at 20km/h to 35km/h, allowing for breezy conditions.

Seas are forecast to be moderate in open waters with swells ranging between 1.2m-1.5m on the western coasts and 2.0m – 2.5m on the eastern coasts.

Small craft operators and sea bathers should continue to exercise caution for above normal northerly swells. No significant haze intrusion is forecast.
