Sunshine through today with a light to moderate breeze.

Fair today, though winds become moderate as high pressure drifts eastward which will open the door for a cold front to sweep across the island on Thursday sending showers, chance of thunder and moderate to strong winds. A breezy Friday as high pressure passes to the north with patchy cloudiness and a chance for drizzle.

Sunny periods, a light shower early, improving skies later.


A weak frontal trough situated to our near north will maintain partially sunny skies, a chance for a light shower or two and continued light winds early on Easter Sunday. This trough will dissipate and skies shall improve from late afternoon onward as high pressure to the north and east becomes our dominant fair weather feature through Wednesday.

Remaining mainly fair with light winds.


High pressure over Bermuda will continue to provide mainly fair weather with light winds today. This high weakens allowing a cold front to approach from the northwest tonight, stalling near to our north. This may produce a shower or two tonight and Sunday morning. High pressure then rebuilds as the front dissipates providing light to moderate winds and slight occasionally moderate seas through Wednesday.

Not even a puff out there today…

Light winds and fair to fine weather today and tomorrow.
A broad ridge of high pressure over the area will provide light winds and fair to fine weather today and tomorrow. A cold front will weaken as it approaches early Sunday and stall near to our north possibly producing a light shower or two. As this front dissipates high pressure rebuilds providing fair to fine weather and light winds through Tuesday. Smooth to slight seas build slight to moderate for Sunday.

Right.  It’s going to be another rough one out there.
Leave your umbrella at home (they are of no use in this wind) but do wear a decent rain coat.  Make sure you dress warmly because it may be 64F out there, but when the wind switches to the north it’s going to feel like it’s pounding straight through you at 40F.

The good news of the day ?  These strong to gale winds gradually sweep showers away.

Gale Warning (Valid for  This morning )
Small Craft Warning (Valid for  This afternoon through Tuesday )

A deepening low passing nearly overhead causes winds to settle northwest strong to gale force while driving rough seas and pushing the shower activity southeast. The system stalls to our northeast today though, delivering further showers and near-gale winds tonight before beginning to fill through tomorrow, when seas build high. Conditions gradually improve from mid-week, becoming fair on Thursday.

High near 18°C/64°F

Humidity ridiculous at the moment – 96% (that should through the day)
Sounds like a hurricane out there at the moment – Winds southwesterly 30 to 40 knots, gusts to 50 knot possible, soon veering sharply northwesterly to ease 20 to 30 knots with gusts to 40 knots late morning, then further easing west-northwesterly 18 to 24 knots for a time this afternoon
Tonight –   Winds northwesterly 20 to 30 knots gusts to 40 knots, with a chance of increasing north-northwesterly 25 to 35 knots for a time late this evening, then easing 18 to 24 knots late night.
