An area of strong convective activity, which approached Trinidad and Tobago last night, and prompted the issuance of an Adverse Weather Alert (Yellow Level), has since dissipated. There is still a medium chance for the development of an isolated heavy shower or thunderstorm. A gradual improvement in conditions is forecast towards late afternoon.

With the occurrence of any heavy shower or thunderstorm, winds can become gusty and street or flash flooding is likely. Precipitation over elevated areas raises the risk of landslips or landslides. Downdrafts from heavy showers or thunderstorms can also cause choppy seas in the vicinity. The wind in the mid-levels is expected to remain moderate, occasionally strong, up to Saturday (27th July, 2024), after which there is likely to be a reduction in strength. Moderate to strong winds in the mid-levels can sometimes translate downward and produce gusts, especially near showers and in elevated terrain. The Met Office notes that Saharan dust concentration is presently moderate to high, with the highest concentrations over Tobago. This will continue so up to Saturday ( (27th July, 2024). From Sunday, the dust concentration is expected to be reduced to mostly moderate, occasionally mild, for the remainder of this outlook period. The TTMS said it continues to analyze and monitor all developments within the Area of Interest. Please continue to pay attention to the latest forecasts, alerts, and information issued by the TTMS.
