The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate to brisk easterly winds and rough seas around the Eastern Caribbean, over the next few days.
Low-level clouds moving along the wind flow, will cause a few showers over the region today. However by night time, instability associated with a trough system is expected to cause cloudy conditions, with scattered light to moderate showers over the area, during the next 24 to 48 hours.
