WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic high-pressure system will generate moderate easterly winds and above normal seas across the region, during the next few days.
An increase in low level moisture and instability over the northern and southern Lesser Antilles will cause some cloudiness and light showers in that area, during the forecast period. Elsewhere, relatively dry weather will persist.
