A slight increase in moisture levels in the atmosphere, will cause a few cloudy periods with showers, mainly across the northern half of the region during the forecast period.

A surface trough located over the western Tropical Atlantic is drifting slowly westward. This system is expected to affect our region from late tomorrow.
