WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High-Pressure System will continue to generate moderate easterly winds across the Eastern Caribbean during the next few days. Low-level clouds moving along this wind flow, enhanced by an upper-level trough, will cause

some scattered showers over the Lesser Antilles during the forecast period. A weak tropical wave located over the extreme southern portion of the region may cause a few showers over that area during the next 24 hours.

Another tropical wave located over the central Tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 23 mph or 37 km/h.
