WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate to brisk easterly winds and rough seas around the Eastern Caribbean region, over the next few days.
A weak shear line will continue to produce some cloudy periods with scattered showers over the southern half of the region, as it drifts southward over that area during the forecast period. Further north, patches of low level clouds moving along an easterly wind flow, will cause some showers over the Leeward and northern Windward Islands during the next 24 hours.
