On Caribbean islands with mountains, the windward slopes facing the trade winds force air upward, causing rainfall. As a result, areas immediately to the leeward of the mountains have a microclimate with sparse precipitation. This is termed as the rain shadow. It is the dry area located at the lee side of the mountain. The air in the mountains  that is being left with little to no moisture, moves behind the mountain and bringing back a drier side which is popularly called as the “rain shadow”.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

When a warm air mass moves into an area of cooler air, the boundary between the air masses is called a warm front. The warmer, less-dense air slides up over the cooler, denser air in a wide, gentle slope. As the warm air cools, its relative humidity increases, and the water vapor condenses into clouds.
