Skies are mostly clear early on this Wednesday morning and temperatures range from the low 50s in the Clifton area to the upper 40s further inland, winds are light. This is my last day in Barbados and it is also mostly clear with the temperature around a warm 80 degrees.

High pressure will build into the Clifton area today providing very pleasant fall conditions through Friday with mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures.

Hurricane Matthew is now expected to stay well south of our area so the weekend weather looks to be much better than it was indicated yesterday. A weak trough is expected to only give us a low chance of showers Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning.

High pressure will then build into the area for early next week providing our area with mostly fair conditions with seasonably cool temperatures.
