TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

The lower atmosphere over the Eastern Caribbean remains sufficiently moist and unstable to produce a few showery periods and possibly isolated thunderstorms over the islands during the next 24 hours.

A large area of disorganized cloudiness and thunderstorms located over the central Atlantic Ocean several hundred miles east of the northern Leeward Islands is associated with an upper-level low and surface trough.  Some slow development of this system is possible during the next few days while it moves northwestward and then northward over the open Atlantic.
