DISCUSSION  ..THE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST CARIBBEAN REMAINED RELATIVELY DRY AND STABLE WITH MOSTLY FAIR TO PARTLY SUNNY SKIES REPORTED OVER THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS AND THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS THIS MORNING. SATELLITE PICTURES ARE SHOWING BROKEN HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS OVER THE SOUTHERN LEEWARD ON THE WESTERN FRINGE OF AN UPPER LEVEL ANTI CYCLONE. HOWEVER, RADARS ARE SHOWING LITTLE OR NO PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE REGION. THE 0600Z ANALYZED SURFACE CHART IS INDICATING THAT THE ISLANDS ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE. AVAILABLE MOISTURE HOWEVER, COULD PRODUCE ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS SOME OF THE ISLANDS SINCE AS A CONTINUING MODERATE WIND FLOW WILL PUSH A FEW PATCHES OF CLOUDS ACROSS THE ISLANDS. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IS REQUIRED TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AT THIS TIME.
