WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High Pressure System will generate moderate to brisk easterly winds, and above normal seas across the Eastern Caribbean region during the next couple of days.
A relatively dry and stable atmosphere will limit shower activity over our region during the next 24 hours.
The alert level at the La Soufriere volcano in Saint Vincent has been downgraded to Orange as a result of reduced activity over the past couple of weeks. However, interests in Saint Lucia and the south-eastern Caribbean region are advised to continue monitoring official sources for updates.
