A large area of disturbed weather associated with two tropical waves and an upper level trough continue to cause cloudiness, periods of rain, some moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms over the Eastern Caribbean region. Upper-level winds are expected to become more conducive for development of this disturbance during the next couple of days, and a tropical depression could form over the weekend or early next week while the system moves westward over the Caribbean Sea.
