SPECIAL FEATURES:  Based on model outputs, very fine particles of volcanic ash from the La Soufriere volcano could reach close to or possibly over the local area during the next few days. This volcanic ash may be combined with low concentrations of Saharan dust, further limiting visibility and affecting sensitive persons. Therefore, persons with allergies and/or respiratory illnesses should take the necessary precautions.   

The Meteorological Department of St. Maarten will continue to monitor the situation and update the public accordingly. 

OUTLOOK through Saturday midday: Partly cloudy with slight haze and a brief shower possible.
