TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
Moisture and instability associated with a strong westward moving tropical wave, will cause cloudiness, scattered showers, gusty winds and thunderstorms over portions of our region during the next 24 hours.
At 11:00 am today, the disturbance was centered near latitude 15.1 North, longitude 55.6 West or about 370 miles or 590 kilometers east-northeast of Saint Lucia. The system is moving toward the west near 26 mph or 43 km/h and this motion is expected to continue with some decrease in forward speed during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the disturbance is expected to move across portions of the Leeward Islands late tonight or Tuesday and approach the U.S. and British Virgin Islands Tuesday night. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph or 55 km/h, with higher gusts.
Tropical Storm Warnings have been issued for the Islands from Guadeloupe northward to portions of the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
Regardless of development, adverse weather conditions will begin affecting the northern portion of the region from late today into tomorrow. Interests in the region should closely monitor the progress of this system. Additional watches or warnings could be required later today.
Another tropical wave located over the far eastern Tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 9 mph or 15 km/h.
