TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

High levels of moisture in the lower atmosphere over the Eastern Caribbean region together with favourable upper level conditions will continue to produce shower and thunderstorm activity around the islands during next few days.

A strong tropical wave located over the Caribbean Sea just west of the Lesser Antilles, is likely to develop into a tropical depression over the next few days, as it drifts westward away from the islands.
