TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
Moisture and instability in the lower levels of the atmosphere over the Lesser Antilles, will cause some showers and possibly isolated thunderstorms to develop over parts of the region during the forecast period.
A tropical wave located several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles, is moving westward at about 15 mph or 24 km/h. This wave is expected to cause cloudiness, showers and isolated thunderstorms over the region from late Tuesday into Wednesday.
A second tropical wave located over the Central Tropical Atlantic, is moving westward at about 15 mph or 24 km/h. Environmental conditions appear to be conducive for further development of this system. This wave has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression during the next day or two.
