WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic high-pressure system will generate moderate to brisk easterly winds and above normal seas across the region, during the next couple of days.
An increase in low level moisture and instability over the northern and southern Lesser Antilles will cause some cloudiness and showers in these areas, during the forecast period. Elsewhere, a relatively dry and stable atmosphere will prevail.
