A tropical wave associated with an area of disturbed weather will continue to move away from the Lesser Antilles towards the Greater Antilles. Some development of this system is expected during the next 7 days, as it moves west near 17 mph or 28 km/h.

Another tropical wave located over the eastern Tropical Atlantic, is moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h.
