TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

A weak tropical wave is expected to move over the Lesser Antilles within the next 24 hours. No significant convection is associated with this wave.

Another tropical wave associated with an area of low pressure located over the Eastern Tropical Atlantic, continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Gradual development of this system is expected while it moves westward near 20 mph or 31 km/h. A tropical depression is likely to form in the next day or two, as the system reaches the Central Tropical Atlantic.

A third tropical wave located over the Western African coast, is forecast to move over the far Eastern Tropical Atlantic today. Gradual development of this system is expected over the next few days and a depression is likely to form by the middle of next week, as it moves westward over the far Eastern Tropical Atlantic.
