Overall summary of Caribbean Weather:

Eastern Caribbean- A surface to low-level through extending southwestwards across the Central Windwards, coupled with sufficient low-level moisture generated partly cloudy to cloudy skies with scattered light to moderate showers over Dominica, Martinique and St Lucia.

Meanwhile, over Barbados and the rest of the Lesser Antilles, a ridge pattern was dominant and mostly fair skies with a brief isolated shower were observed. Similar conditions were also observed over Trinidad and Tobago.

Winds remained generally light across the eastern Caribbean, peaking at 10 knots in Grenada and 9 knots in Barbados. The sea’s condition was slight to moderate in open water, with swells of 1.0 m to 2.0 m.

Western Caribbean- A ridge pattern was dominant across most of the Greater Antilles, however, surface to low-level confluence affected sections of Hispaniola as well as the southern and central Bahamas, triggering a few brief showers.
