The storm is moving toward the northwest near 20 mph or 31 km/h and does not pose a direct threat to the Lesser Antilles. However, moisture and instability trailing this system will cause occasional cloudiness, showers and possibly isolated thunderstorms mainly over the Virgin and Leeward Islands today.
A tropical wave located over the central tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h.
A second tropical wave located over the eastern tropical Atlantic is producing an area of concentrated showers and thunderstorms. This system is moving westward near 17 mph or 28 km/h and has a low chance of development during the next five days.
