Hazardous Weather Outlook Caveat (Emptor) and Disclaimer

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is intended to provide emergency managers, planners, forecasters and the public advanced notice of potential hazards related to climate, weather, hydrological and marine events. It integrates existing forecasts and outlook products of the Meteorological Service.

When using this outlook, please keep in mind that the models used to produce it change, sometimes markedly, from one day to the next, even in the shortest ranges.  Thus, updates to this outlook can change significantly from current projections, as the weather is constantly evolving; hence, follow-ups are strongly advised.

Please note that this is NOT a forecast/prediction but rather an outlook (of what MAY develop) indicating possible hazards; the Met Service should always be consulted for detailed information and forecast of potential hazardous weather events.

The information contained herein is provided with the understanding that the Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service makes no warranties, either expressed or implied, concerning the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of this outlook.
