Likewise, it was reported that cold air descending from the winds of the upper levels persists, which do not allow the evolution of clouds of great vertical development, generating little cloudiness and a low probability of precipitation over a large part of the country.
However, the northeast trade winds continue to transport moisture towards the coastal strip, causing stratiform clouds accompanied by some scattered drizzle to the east of Falcón, Miranda, Sucre, Monagas, the Insular Region, Delta Amacuro and North of Guayana Esequiba.
Likewise, cloud nuclei with precipitations motivated by local convective effects are expected to the south of Lake Maracaibo, Táchira, Mérida and Amazonas.
