Further south, an upper level jet and low level patches of clouds drifting along an easterly wind flow, will produce increased cloudy periods with a few scattered showers during the next 24 hours.

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.
