WEATHER SUMMARY
A low pressure system located over the central Atlantic, will cause light to moderate northeasterly winds and above normal seas across the Eastern Caribbean region during the next couple of days.

Patches of low-level clouds moving along the wind flow, will cause occasional cloudy periods with showers over the Lesser Antilles during the next 24 hours.

A weak shearline is expected to cause occasional cloudiness with showers during the forecast period, as it drifts slowly southward over the island chain.
