Forecast Discussion for the Leeward and British Virgin Islands

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
FOR THE LEEWARD ISLANDS AND BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
ISSUED BY ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES

16:00 UTC JANUARY 18 2026

DISCUSSION:RELATIVELY LOW MOISTURE LEVELS CONTINUE TO RENDER THE ATMOSPHERE RELATIVELY STABLE; HOWEVER, A MODERATE TO SOMETIMES FRESH BREEZE HAS RETURNED OVER THE AREA AND WITH THIS, SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS WERE NOTED ON RADAR IMAGERY.

FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS: THESE CONDITIONS ARE NOT FORECAST TO SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE AS LATEST MODEL DATE SUGGESTS THE CONTINUATION OF THE BREEZE. THIS COULD LEAD TO INCREASING LOW-LEVEL MIXING AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF SPOTTY SHOWERS AND THIS EXPECTATION IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LATEST ISSUED FORECAST.
