WEATHER SUMMARY
A shear line is producing cloudy periods with widely scattered showers over the central and southern Lesser Antilles. This activity is expected to continue during the forecast period. Patches of low-level drifting along a moderate easterly wind flow, will cause a few showers over the remainder of the region, during the next 24 hours.
A low-level trough located a few hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles is drifting slowly westward. This system should begin affecting our region by Thursday.
A second low-level trough located over the central Tropical Atlantic is also drifting slowly westward.
