WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate easterly to east northeasterly winds across the Eastern Caribbean region, during the next couple of days.
Moisture and instability associated with a weak low-level trough is expected to cause some cloudy periods with scattered showers over the central and southern Lesser Antilles during the forecast period.
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.
