TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate easterly winds across the Eastern Caribbean region, over the next few days. Patches of low level clouds moving along this wind flow, will cause some showers over parts
of the Lesser Antilles, during the forecast period.
Two tropical waves located over the central Tropical Atlantic are moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h.
A third tropical wave located over the eastern Tropical Atlantic is also moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h. Environmental conditions appear to be conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression could form during the
early to middle portions of next week while the system moves westward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
