Discussion Valid from 6:00 AM 25/08/2026

Special features:
An area of low pressure south-southeast of the
Caboverde Islands is producing showers and
thunderstorms. This system has a medium chance
during the next 2 days and a high chance during
the next 7 days to develop further into a tropical
cyclone as it moves west to west-northwest over the
waters of the far eastern tropical Atlantic.

...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...
A tropical wave is moving in the eastern Caribbean.
This will add some moisture and unstable air in the
region as it crosses westward. Expect therefore
some brief showers during this forecast period.

Otherwise, Saharan Dust concentrations will increase
during this forecast period, making for hazy skies
and inducing air of a low quality. People sensitive
to changes in the air quality must continue to monitor
this feature and take precautions, if necessary.

Marine conditions:
Smooth to slight seas are in place on the protected
south sites. Slight to moderate seas are noted on
the exposed south sides with seas of around 2 to
locally 3 feet.
Generally moderate seas are noted over the east to
northwest coastal areas with seas of 4 to 7 feet.

Operators of small craft must exercise caution on
the east to northwest coastal sections...
