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.

A weak trough system will cause some cloudy periods with showers mainly around the Leeward and northern Windward Islands. Further south, low level patches of clouds drifting along the wind flow, will cause 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.
