WEATHER SUMMARY
Light to moderate easterly winds will prevail across the Eastern Caribbean region, over the next couple of days.
Moisture and instability associated with a shearline coupled with an upper-level jet stream, will cause cloudiness with scattered showers over the northern half of the Lesser Antilles, during the next 24 hours. Low-level clouds drifting along the wind flow, will cause a few showers over the remainder of the region, during the forecast period.
