TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

Moisture and instability in the wake of a tropical wave, along with favourable

upper level conditions, will continue to cause some showery periods and possibly

isolated thunderstorms mainly over the Leeward Islands during the next 24 hours. 

Another tropical wave located a few hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles

is moving westward near 17 mph or 28 km/h. This wave is expected to cause an

increase in cloudiness and showers mainly over the southern part of our region

from late Tuesday into Wednesday.

A third tropical wave located over the far eastern tropical Atlantic is moving

westward near 14 mph or 23 km/h.

Tropical cyclone formation is not expected over the tropical Atlantic during

the next five days.
