winds and rough seas around the Eastern Caribbean during the next 24 hours.
Lingering moisture and instability in the wake of a surface trough, will cause
cloudiness and showers mainly over the southern portion of the island chain
during the next 24 hours.
Low level moisture and instability enhanced by an upper level jet stream will cause some showers to develop over the remainder of the region during the forecast period.
