TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
Moisture and instability associated with a tropical wave, a few hundred miles east of the Windward Islands, will generate cloudiness, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms mainly over the southern Windward Islands and area further south, during the next 24 hours. This wave is expected to move slowly westward near 9 mph or 15 km/h. Further development of this system is unlikely at this time.
Two other tropical waves located over the central and eastern Tropical Atlantic are also moving slowly westward near 12 mph or 19 km/h.
The alert level at the La Soufriere volcano in Saint Vincent remains at Orange.
Interests in Saint Lucia and the South-Eastern Caribbean region are advised to continue monitoring official sources for updates.
