According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), there are no areas of interest (for cyclonic development) to the East of the Lesser Antilles at this time.

The 2024 North Atlantic Hurricane Season officially ended on Saturday 30th November, 2024, while the Rainy Season is still ongoing.

A strong North Atlantic high pressure cell in the Northeastern sub-tropical Atlantic pushes a ridge mainly to the East-Northeast of the Leeward Islands, and a long and straight fetch across the entire Tropical Atlantic, resulting in strong surface to mid-level winds.

Passing frontal systems to the North-West and near-North extend shear-lines mostly over the Eastern Greater Antilles. In the event of any passing frontal system to the near-North of the Lesser Antilles, this can introduce brief perturbations in the equator side-flow of the Atlantic high pressure cell.

Although the wave heights and rough sea conditions to the East and North-East of Trinidad and Tobago is beginning to show some reduction over the next few days, persons are advised to continue to be cautious when engaging in any marine activity.

The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is just North of, or on, the equator and is expected to remain in that position for this outlook period.

High pressures are to the North-East of the Lesser Antilles. The central pressure of the sub-tropical high pressure cell to East of the sub-tropical Atlantic remains relatively high, and together with a long and relatively straight fetch across the Tropical Atlantic, is expected to continue to produce strong winds in the equatorial flow, toward the Lesser Antilles. This is expected to increase convergent bands of moisture advection across the Tropical Atlantic.

Even though the atmosphere is showing a marked and general reduction in moisture, it is also cooling as the hemisphere transitions into the Winter Season, and the cooler air encroaches on the tropics. In this case, the cooler atmosphere is less likely to hold as much moisture, which would more readily condense and precipitate as shallow showers or rain, most likely during the coolest hours, like evenings or pre-dawn and early mornings.

Also, varying low-level convergence, weak perturbations, some daytime sunshine and orographic influences, are the other likely factors for any cloudiness or precipitation, to at times interrupt otherwise fair conditions, over Trinidad and Tobago and the remainder of the Lesser Antilles during this outlook period.

Friday (6th December, 2024)

• Moderate, to at times strong surface winds are expected to produce increased patches of moisture advection across the Lesser Antilles. Trinidad and Tobago is expected to be generally fair but with patches of moisture advection producing a few brief showers, possibly becoming moderate over Tobago, North-East Trinidad and near hilly areas. The rest of the Windward Islands are expected to see partly cloudy periods interrupting fair conditions with light to moderate showers in a few areas. The Leeward Islands are likely to be mostly fair with a brief shower.

Saturday (7th December, 2024)

• Increased moisture convergence over Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands, during the pre-dawn and early morning, is expected to produce partly cloudy periods with light to moderate showers. Otherwise a mostly fair day with brief showers mainly near hilly areas. A surface perturbation, mainly over the Northern Windward and the Leeward Islands, is expected to give partly, to at times cloudy periods with light to moderate showers over varying areas.

Sunday (8th December, 2024)

• ​Moisture advection across Trinidad and Tobago and the Southern Windward Islands is expected to produce partly cloudy patches with a light or moderate shower in a few areas, interrupting fair periods. The remainder of the Lesser Antilles are likely to be mainly fair but with a moderate to heavy shower to favour hilly areas and the Northern Leeward Islands.

Monday (9th December, 2024)

• ​Relatively increased convergence and patches of moisture advection across Trinidad and Tobago is expected to produce partly cloudy patches, interrupting fair periods with a light or moderate shower in a few areas. The remainder of the Lesser Antilles are likely to be mainly fair but with a moderate to heavy shower to favour hilly areas.

Tuesday (10th December, 2024)

• ​Mostly fair conditions across Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands. With an approaching trough, to the East of the Lesser Antilles, the wind is expected to come mostly from the North-East and this could aid in producing a few brief orographic showers. Increased surface convergence and moisture advection across the Leeward Islands is expected to produce partly cloudy periods with brief, light or moderate showers in varying areas and a medium chance for a heavy shower to favour hilly areas.

With the occurrence of any heavy shower or thunderstorm, winds can become gusty, with strong down-draughts possible.

In the event of thunderstorm activity, be mindful of lightning discharges. Street or flash flooding is very likely in the vicinity of showers.

Precipitation over elevated terrain raises the risk of landslips or landslides.

Down-draughts from heavy showers or thunderstorms can also cause choppy seas in the vicinity.

With a long straight fetch from the West coast of the African continent, across the Tropical Atlantic, to the Caribbean, the surface to mid-level wind speed is expected to continue to be moderate to strong. This is likely to produce breezy and sometimes windy conditions, especially over hilly terrain or near any moderate or heavy shower which might occur. There is also the effect of increased wave heights and choppy seas in the open waters to the East and North-East of Trinidad and Tobago.

The Met Office notes that the concentration of dust in the atmosphere at present is peaking at moderate, being gradually reduced to mild until Sunday (8th December, 2024), after which it becomes mild to moderate for the remainder of the outlook period.

The TTMS said it continues to analyze and monitor all developments within the Area of Interest.

According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), fair and at times breezy conditions today (Wednesday 4th December, 2024) would be interrupted by infrequent light to moderate showers in a few areas. Tonight will be mostly fair.

The forecast maximum temperature today will be 32°C at Piarco in Trinidad and 31°C at Crown Point in Tobago.

Seas are moderate to rough with waves 2.5m to 3m in open waters and near 1.5m and occasionally choppy in sheltered areas.

The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has issued a Hazardous Seas Alert (Yellow Level) for a total of fifty-four (54) hours. The Alert begins at 10:00 AM this morning (Tuesday 3rd December, 2024) and will remain in effect until 4:00 PM on Thursday afternoon (5th December, 2024) for open waters of Trinidad and Tobago; along exposed coastlines of Tobago and Trinidad.

According to the Met Office, moderate to strong East-Northeasterly surface winds are expected to gradually increase in strength today (Tuesday 3rd December, 2024), and will render sea conditions rough and choppy in open waters, particularly in Eastern offshore areas. Wind waves are forecast to be in excess of 2.5 metres, which can be especially hazardous to small crafts and offshore operations. Conditions at seawalls along exposed coastlines can be exacerbated at High Tide.

Instructions:

• Seafarers and those particularly with offshore marine interests are advised to exercise extreme caution.
• Monitor weather updates via www.metoffice.gov.tt.
