WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate to brisk

easterly winds and locally rough seas across the Eastern Caribbean region, for the next couple of days.

The lower atmosphere over the extreme southern portion of our region remains sufficiently moist and unstable to cause some cloudy periods and scattered showers over that area during the next 24 hours.
