FORECAST FOR THE LESSER ANTILLES
Partly cloudy to cloudy at times, with some scattered showers and a chance of isolated thunderstorms.
The Atlantic High-Pressure System will continue to generate light to moderate easterly winds across the Lesser Antilles, over the next few days.
A weak low to mid-level trough will generate some periods of increased moisture instability over the region, producing some cloudy periods with scattered showers and possibly isolated thunderstorms over the Lesser Antilles, during the next 24 hours.
An area of low pressure located 1100 miles east of the Windward Islands has a medium chance of tropical cyclone formation during the next 48 hours. Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of this system.
