WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate a moderate to brisk easterly wind flow across the Eastern Caribbean region during the next few days.

The lower atmosphere over our region is sufficiently moist and unstable to produce a few brief showers around the islands during the next 24 hours. However, mostly fair weather is expected to prevail during this period.
