WEATHER SUMMARY

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

Shallow cloud patches drifting along this wind flow, will cause a few isolated showers across the islands during the forecast period.

The La Soufriere volcano in Saint Vincent remains active, hence 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.
