WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate easterly winds and locally rough seas around the Eastern Caribbean region during the next couple of days.
Low level cloud patches drifting along this wind flow enhanced by an upper level trough system, will cause occasional cloudiness and showers mainly over the central and southern portions of the Lesser Antilles during the forecast period.
