WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate brisk easterly

winds and rough seas around the Eastern Caribbean during the next 24 hours.

Lingering moisture and instability in the wake of a surface trough, will cause

cloudiness and showers mainly over the southern portion of the island chain

during the next 24 hours.

Low level moisture and instability enhanced by an upper level jet stream will cause some showers to develop over the remainder of the region during the forecast period.
