EXTENDED FORECAST: Hot temperatures and gentle to moderate winds are expected to persist across the Turks and Caicos Islands throughout the work week under a deep ridge of high pressure. Rainfall chances will remain low due to a dry air mass and Saharan dust, which will contribute to hazy or milky skies and slightly reduced air quality at times. By Wednesday, an approaching tropical wave will slightly increase the chance of showers and thunderstorm activity across the islands.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK:
Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic: An area of low pressure located a few hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands has a low chance of formation over the next two days and a medium chance of formation through seven days. A tropical depression could form during the latter half of this week while the system moves westward to west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic.
Central Tropical Atlantic: A broad area of showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave is located about midway between the coast of west Africa and the Lesser Antilles. The system has a low chance of development through the next seven days while it moves quickly westward across the central tropical Atlantic.
Western Subtropical Atlantic: A trough of low pressure located a few hundred miles northwest of Bermuda has a low chance of formation through the next seven days while it moves eastward and into cooler waters later this week.
