WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High-Pressure System will continue to generate light to 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 tropical wave located over the central Tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 23 mph or 37 km/h. This wave is expected to begin affecting the Lesser Antilles by Thursday.
