According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), the high pressure cell has been re-established over the North Atlantic and the atmosphere returns to a more general ridging pattern across the Lesser Antilles.
On the synoptic scale, no major precipitation-causing event or significant rainfall accumulation is predicted for the Lesser Antilles during this outlook period (Thursday 4th to Sunday 7th April, 2024). However, with some low-level convergence and intermittent patches of moisture advection interacting with the local topographies, there is likely to be a few brief, light or moderate showers and possibly an isolated heavy shower, especially near hilly areas. Generally fair and sunny conditions are expected across Trinidad and Tobago for the remainder of the outlook period. A few partly cloudy periods, producing brief showers, are likely at times when there are intermittent patches of moisture advection interacting with the local topography and daytime land heating. There is still a chance for an isolated, moderate or heavy, shower to develop, favouring hilly areas mainly during the late mornings to afternoons. The surface to mid-level (approx. 10,000 ft) synoptic wind-field across Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands is beginning to show an increase in speed, being moderate to strong in the near-surface to mid-level (approx. 1,500 ft – 8,000 ft), especially this Friday (5th April, 2024) and Saturday (6th April, 2024). Breezy to at times windy conditions are likely, especially in elevated areas or in the vicinity of any shower which might occur. Although this could provide some much needed ventilation, the maximum daytime temperatures can still get up into the mid-thirties of degrees Celsius on some days. Saharan dust concentration in the atmosphere is mostly mild until Friday (5th April, 2024) when there is expected to be an increase to mostly moderate concentrations for the remainder of this outlook period. The Met Office notes that we are still in the Dry Season, and as the atmosphere begins to subsequently dry out once more, the probability for bush and brush fires, together with the possibility for landfill and forest fires, will again begin to rise. These are likely to continue to contribute to the reduction in air quality at times. Sensitive persons are still advised to take the precautions as necessary. All marine interests are being advised to exercise caution, particularly along the Northern and Northeastern coastal areas, due to the possibility of occasional long period swells. A Hazardous Seas Alert (Yellow Level) will be in effect from 8:00 AM on Friday morning (5th April, 2024) until 2:00 PM on Tuesday afternoon (9th April, 2024).
