TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

Moisture and instability associated with a tropical wave in the vicinity of the Lesser Antilles will generate some showers and isolated thunderstorms over the region mainly during the morning.

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.
