WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic high pressure system will generate a moderate easterly wind flow and generally fair weather across the Eastern Caribbean during the next 24 hours.

A low level trough located several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles is drifting slowly westward. This feature is expected to cause an increase in cloudiness and showers over the islands from late Saturday or early Sunday.
