TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

A weak tropical wave will continue to affect the Eastern Caribbean region during the next 24 hours. The presence of Saharan dust is limiting shower activity associated with this wave.

Another tropical wave located over the western Tropical Atlantic is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Some slight development of this system is possible during the next two days as it moves westward at about 20 mph or 31 km/h. This system is expected to bring cloudiness, showers and thunderstorms over our region from late Tuesday into Wednesday.

A third tropical wave located over the eastern Tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h.
