A low-level trough is expected to move slowly across the western Caribbean from this evening. Ahead of this feature, increasing moisture will interact with an upper-level low over the Cayman area, supporting showers from later this afternoon. A weakening pressure gradient will also result in lighter winds, which, combined with daytime heating, may support additional shower development. Satellite imagery shows few low-level clouds streaming from the Sister Islands moving towards the west-southwest.
