WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic high pressure system will continue to generate a light to moderate easterly wind flow across the Eastern Caribbean region over the next few days.

A weak low level trough will cause a few showery periods over the Leeward Islands during the next 24 hours. A dry and stable lower atmosphere will remain over the rest of our region, resulting in fair weather conditions around those islands during the next couple of days.
