WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate to brisk easterly winds and locally rough seas around the Eastern Caribbean region, during the next few days.
Low-level clouds moving along the wind flow will cause some showery periods over the Lesser Antilles during the forecast period.
A surface to low-level trough located east of the island chain, is expected to cause some cloudiness and showers, as it drifts slowly westward over our region on Sunday.
