Today's Forecast
Synopsis
Warm and humid conditions are expected to continue today with a layer of moderate haze present as Saharan dust continues to linger over the northwest Caribbean. Throughout today, this layer is expected to begin gradually subsiding as this drifts into Central America accompanied with a slight increase in the chance for showers. A Dust Alert remains in effect. From later tonight, an upper-level trough will drift over the Cayman area and combined with residual moisture from Cuba overnight, will likely bring a spell of showers and isolated thunderstorms. Satellite imagery shows numerous layers of high-level cloud across the Cayman area moving east with few areas of convection noted moving westward.
