WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High-Pressure System will generate light to moderate easterly winds and above normal seas across the Eastern Caribbean region, during the next few days.
Weak unstable conditions associated with a shearline, will cause some cloudiness with widely scattered showers, mainly over the central Lesser Antilles, during the forecast period. Patches of low-level clouds drifting along the wind flow, will cause a few showers over the remainder of the region, during the next 24 hours.
