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 over the central Lesser Antilles. 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.
