The air temperatures will range from the low 80s (ºF) to the low 90s (ºF) or 26ºC to 32ºC.

Ocean water temperatures are 82 to 83ºF or 26 to 27ºC. Visibility is generally 20 to 80 feet.

The Tropical Weather Outlook

Tropical storm formation is not expected for the next 48 hours. There currently are two tropical waves in the Atlantic between Africa and the Eastern Caribbean. There is no associated deep convection with either of these waves.

Saharan desert dust, in the atmosphere, covers most of the Atlantic basin but continues to diffuse, increasing the chances of tropical storm formation.
