A mid-upper level trough moving across the region until Friday is expected to generate showers, which are forecast to become more intense and longer in duration.

According to information received from the St Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Office at 12 noon on Monday, for the next 24 hours, the ridge of high pressure will remain the dominant feature, bringing brief occasional showers to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG).{{more}}

However, showers are forecast to become more intense and longer in duration as a mid-upper level trough moves across the northern portion of the region up until Friday. Residents should be vigilant during this time.

Winds will continue to be brisk moving across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at 18 – 30 miles/hour, with gusty winds in the vicinity of showers.

Sea conditions are therefore expected to remain moderate to rough in open waters, and choppy near shore; therefore, sea operators, sea bathers or any other marine interests should exercise caution.

The HIGH-SURF ADVISORY and SMALL-CRAFT WARNING remains in effect for St Vincent and the Grenadines until 6 p.m. on Wednesday, 21 December, 2016.

The National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO), through the St Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Office will continue to monitor the situation.
