A dense canopy of mid to upper-level cloud associated with a mid to upper-level trough anchored NE through SW across the Leeward Islands, continued to stream across the region.

Similar conditions were observed across Trinidad and Tobago. At Charnocks 3.1mm of rainfall was recorded overnight while rainfall accumulations across the island ranged from 0.4mm to 9.4mm.
