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 western Tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 17 mph or 28 km/h. This wave is expected to begin affecting mainly the southern half of the Lesser Antilles on Thursday.
