WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to maintain light to moderate easterly to southeasterly winds across the Eastern Caribbean region over the next few days.

A weak frontal trough will cause some scattered showers over the extreme northern portion of the region during the next 24 hours.

The lower atmosphere over the remainder of our region remains relatively dry and stable which will result in mostly fair to partly cloudy skies and a few showers over the islands during the forecast period.
