WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High-Pressure System will generate moderate easterly winds and above normal seas across the Eastern Caribbean, during the next few days.

Weak unstable conditions associated with a shearline, will cause occasionally cloudy periods with widely 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.
