TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
An active tropical wave, together with a low pressure centre will generate cloudy to overcast skies, scattered showers and thunderstorms over the Lesser Antilles during the forecast period. Significant development of this system is unlikely while it moves quickly west near 26 mph or 43 km/h.
Further east, a second active tropical wave associated with a low pressure area, is located over the central Tropical Atlantic. The system moving westward near 20 mph or 31 km/h and expected to produce heavy showers and thunderstorms over the Windward Islands, from Friday into Saturday. Environmental conditions appear favorable for development and this system may be at least a tropical depression by the time it gets to the islands.
The alert level at the La Soufriere volcano in Saint Vincent remains at Orange.
Interests in Saint Lucia and the Caribbean region are advised to continue monitoring official sources for updates.
