FORECAST FOR THE LESSER ANTILLES
Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with scattered showers over the Leeward Islands. Elsewhere, fair skies, becoming cloudy at times with a few scattered showers.

WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate light to moderate easterly to east southeasterly winds across the Eastern Caribbean region during the next few days.

A weak frontal system will cause cloudiness and showers over the Leeward
Islands. The lower atmosphere over the remainder of the lesser Antilles is sufficiently moist and unstable to cause a few showers to develop over that area during the forecast period.

A surface trough several hundred miles east of the lesser Antilles is drifting slowly westward.
