WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate light to moderate easterly winds across the Eastern Caribbean region for the next few days.
Low level shallow clouds drifting along this wind flow, will cause a few showers over the Eastern Caribbean islands during the next 24 hours.
The La Soufriere volcano in St. Vincent remains active, so 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.
