Moisture and instability ahead of this wave, will cause cloudiness showers and isolated thunderstorms mainly over the southern Lesser Antilles during the next 24 hours.
The Atlantic High Pressure System will cause moderate easterly winds and restrict shower activity over the northern portion of the region during the forecast period.
