WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate to brisk easterly winds and locally rough seas around 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 with showers over that area during the next 24 hours.
