WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate to brisk easterly winds and rough seas around the Eastern Caribbean region. Patches of low level clouds moving along this wind flow, will cause some showers to develop over some of the islands during the next 24 hours.

Moisture and instability associated with an upper level jet stream, along with an upper level trough, will cause cloudiness and showers mainly over the extreme southern and extreme northern parts of the Lesser Antilles during the forecast period.
