The island continues to experience weather conditions influenced by both the trough and low-level jet stream, leading to windy conditions along coastal areas. Furthermore, increased cloudiness with showers and thunderstorms is expected across sections of most parishes, starting late today and continuing into the weekend. This is due to a large area of low pressure in the southwestern Caribbean Sea, which currently has a small chance of developing further.

24-Hour Forecast

This Morning… Isolated showers across sections of eastern parishes, partly cloudy elsewhere.
