WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate to brisk east-northeasterly to easterly winds across the Eastern Caribbean, during the next 24 hours. Patches of low level clouds drifting along this wind flow, will cause a few showers over the islands during the forecast period.
The atmosphere over the extreme southern part of the region, remains sufficiently moist and unstable to generate some cloudy periods with scattered showers and possibly isolated thunderstorms, during the next 24 hours.
The La Soufriere volcano in Saint 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.
