DISCUSSION:   A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS THE DOMINANT FEATURE ACROSS THE LEEWARD ISLAND AND THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS. AS A RESULT, GENERALLY SETTLED AND SLIGHTLY HAZY CONDITIONS PREVAILED ACROSS THE AREA. RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS LITTLE SIGNIFICANT SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS AND AROUND THE ISLANDS, WITH ONLY A FEW SHALLOW PATCHES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FLOW WITH SURFACE REPORTS REVEAL LIGHT TO MODERATE EASTERLY WINDS PREVAILING.

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE NEXT 24HOURS, THE RIDGE PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN THE DOMINANT FEATURE, MAINTAINING GENERALLY DRY AND STABLE CONDITIONS ACROSS THE LEEWARD ISLANDS AND BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS. AVAILABLE MOISTURE WILL REMAIN LIMITED, RESTRICTING ANY SIGNIFICANT CLOUD OR SHOWER DEVELOPMENT; HOWEVER, SHALLOW LOW-LEVEL PATCHES MOVING ON THE WIND FLOW COULD PRODUCE BRIEF PERIODS OF CLOUDINESS AND A FEW PASSING SHOWERS. EASTERLY WINDS WILL REMAIN MODERATE. MEANWHILE, SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT SAFE LEVELS. THIS IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE LATEST ISSUED FORECAST, THEREFORE NO AMENDMENT IS REQUIRED AT THIS TIME.
