FORECAST FOR THE LESSER ANTILLES

WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate light to moderate easterly winds around the Eastern Caribbean region, during the next few days.

A weak surface trough approaching the northern Lesser Antilles will cause an increase in cloudiness and some showers over that area, within the next 24 hours. Further south, a relatively stable atmosphere will limit shower activity over those islands within the forecast period.
