TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

Lingering moisture and instability in the wake of a tropical wave will continue to cause cloudiness and scattered showers over the region during the forecast period.

Another tropical wave over the central tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 17 mph or 28 km/h. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for development of this system and a tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form within the next day or two. This system is expected to affect mainly the northernmost part of the region by Wednesday evening.

Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of this system.
