The Trough and Low-Level Jet Stream are expected to remain across the island for the next few days. Windy conditions are expected, especially across southern parishes. Additionally, expect a chance for increased cloudiness with showers and thunderstorm activity later this week, due to the potential development of a broad area of Low Pressure over the south-western Caribbean Sea.
