TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
The Atlantic High-Pressure System will maintain moderate to brisk easterly winds across the Eastern Caribbean, during the next few days.

Patches of low-level clouds moving with the wind flow will cause some scattered showers over the region, during the forecast period.

A tropical wave interacting with a broad area of low pressure, located about 1000 miles east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles continues to produce disorganised showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear only marginally conducive for development during the next day or so while the system moves west-northwestward at around 13 mph or 20 km/h.

Another tropical wave located over the eastern Tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 21 mph or 33 km/h.
