TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

Moisture and instability in the lower atmosphere around the Eastern Caribbean region will cause some showers to develop over the islands mainly during the daytime over the next 24 hours.

A broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles east of the northern Leeward Islands is drifting northwestward to northward over the open Atlantic. This system has a low chance of development during the next few days but it is not expected to pose a threat to our region.
