WEATHER SUMMARY

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

easterly winds around our region, during the next 24 hours.

Patches of low level clouds driven by this wind flow, will cause some cloudy periods with showers over the Eastern Caribbean region, during the forecast period.

The La Soufriere volcano in St. Vincent remains active and additional

eruptions and ash plumes are possible at any time. Interests in Saint Lucia

and the south Eastern Caribbean region are advised to continue monitoring

official information from reliable media outlets for updates.
