Low level clouds drifting along the wind flow will cause a few showers over the Eastern Caribbean islands during the next 24 hours.

A tropical wave located several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles is moving westward near 17 mph or 28 km/h. This system is expected to cause an increase in cloudiness and showers over the Eastern Caribbean region from late Tuesday into Wednesday.
