TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
The lower atmosphere over the Lesser Antilles is sufficiently moist and unstable to cause a few showers and possibly isolated thunderstorms to develop over the islands during the forecast period.

Three tropical waves located over the central, eastern and far eastern Tropical Atlantic are moving westward near 17 mph or 28 km/h.

A surface trough located over the far eastern Tropical Atlantic has a low chance for tropical cyclone formation during the next five days. This system is not expected to pose a threat to our region.
