| AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE LEEWARD ISLANDS AND BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS ISSUED BY ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES 03:58 UTC OCTOBER 31 2026 DISCUSSION: A
SURFACE-TO-LOW-LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS THE DOMINANT FEATURE ACROSS MUCH OF
THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN. HOWEVER, INCREASING LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY, ALONG WITH AN APPROACHING TROUGH, ARE SUPPORTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF CLOUD PATCHES AND PASSING SHOWERS ACROSS THE LEEWARD
ISLANDS AND BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS. RADAR OBSERVATIONS INDICATE ECHOES
MOVING THROUGH THE AREA.
BASED
ON THE LATEST MODEL ANALYSIS, AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE IS EXPECTED
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. THIS SUGGESTS INCREASINGLY UNSETTLED CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN CARIBBEAN DURING THE LATTER PART OF THE
WEEKEND. THEREFORE, PARTLY CLOUDY TO OCCASIONALLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH A
MODERATE CHANCE OF SHOWERS ARE ANTICIPATED TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW
MORNING. JALEEL JACOBS
