TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

The atmosphere over the islands is relatively dry and stable.  Patches of low level clouds may cause a few showers over the region today.

A weak tropical wave a few hundred miles east of the island chain is moving westward at about 12 mph or 19 km/h and is expected to begin affecting the Lesser Antilles by Sunday.

A nearly stationary broad area of low pressure, located over the central tropical Atlantic continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. There is a low chance of further development of this system during the next five days.

A third tropical wave associated with an area of low pressure located over the eastern tropical Atlantic, is moving westward near 21 mph or 33 km/h. This system has a high chance of further development during the next five days and a tropical depression is likely to form late this weekend or early next week.
