WEATHER SUMMARY

Light to moderate easterly winds will prevail across the Eastern Caribbean region, over the next couple of days.

Moisture and instability in the lower levels of the atmosphere coupled with an upper-level jet stream will cause some cloudiness with light to moderate showers mainly over the northern half of the Lesser Antilles, during the next 24 hours.  Low-level clouds drifting along the wind flow will cause occasional cloudy periods with a few showers over the remainder of the region, during the forecast period.
