Weak unstable conditions associated with a shearline, will cause occasionally cloudy periods with a few scattered showers over the central and northern Lesser Antilles, during the next 24 hours. Patches of low-level clouds drifting along the wind flow, will cause a few showers over the remainder of the region, during the forecast period.
