.DISCUSSION...
Moderate east-northeasterly trade winds will hold in place through
Friday night, with a few showers moving through at times, mainly
at night and during the early morning hours. A weak surface trough
and a disturbance aloft will ease the trade winds and shift them
more easterly this weekend. Some heavier showers and increased
cloud cover will likely accompany the disturbance as it moves
through as well. We can`t entirely rule out a few lightning
strikes, but the potential appears very low at this time.

The weather is expected to improve early next week as the
disturbance shifts north, bringing lighter showers, a gradual
increase in trade winds speeds and a shift around to a more
typical east-northeasterly direction.
