TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
The Atlantic High Pressure System will generate moderate northeasterly to easterly winds and will maintain a relatively stable atmosphere over the Eastern Caribbean region during the next 24 hours.
A broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave located over the central Tropical Atlantic, is moving westward near 10 mph or 17 km/h. This system has a high chance of tropical cyclone development during the next five days, and is expected to be in the vicinity of the northern Leeward Islands during the weekend.
Another tropical wave also associated with a broad area of low pressure is located just off the west coast of Africa. This system is moving slowly westward near 6 mph or 9 km/h and has a medium chance of tropical cyclone development during the next five days.
