WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High-Pressure System will continue to generate moderate to brisk easterly winds and rough seas across the Lesser Antilles, during the next few days.

A shearline slowly moving southward will cause cloudiness and showers mainly over the central portion of the Lesser Antilles, during the forecast period. Shallow patches of low-level clouds drifting along the wind flow, will cause some cloudy intervals with widely scattered showers over the remainder of the region, during the next 24 hours.
