WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High-Pressure System will continue to generate moderate easterly

winds and above normal seas across the Eastern Caribbean during the next couple

of days. Low level clouds drifting with this wind flow, will cause a few brief

showers over the northern half of the Lesser Antilles during the next 24 hours.

Moist and unstable conditions over the southern portion of the region, will

continue to cause cloudiness with some scattered showers over that area during

the forecast period.
