Patches of low level clouds drifting along the wind flow will cause few showers over the region during the next 24 hours.
At 5:00 am today, the centre of Tropical Depression Eleven was located near latitude 12.9 north, longitude 47.9 west or about 880 miles or 1420 km east southeast of Saint Lucia. The depression is moving toward the west northwest near 15 mph or 24 km/h and this general motion is expected to continue for the next few days followed by a turn toward the northwest late this weekend or early next week.
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph or 55 km/h, with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next day or two, and the depression is expected to become a tropical storm later today.
The Saint Lucia Meteorological Services will continue to closely monitor the progress of this system.
