WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate to brisk easterly winds across the Eastern Caribbean region, during the next few days.
A relatively dry and stable lower atmosphere will limit shower activity during the early part of the forecast period. A few showers are expected later due to an increase in moisture and some low level wind convergence.
