TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
The atmosphere over the region remains sufficiently moist and unstable to produce cloudy periods with scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly over the southern half of the Lesser Antilles, during the forecast period.
A tropical wave associated with an area of disturbed weather is located over the central Tropical Atlantic. Gradual development of this system is expected and a tropical depression could form by early next week as it approaches the Lesser Antilles. It is currently moving westward near 17 mph or 28 km/h.
A second tropical wave is located over the eastern Tropical Atlantic. Some slow development of this wave is possible as it moves westward near 17 mph or 28 km/h, over the next few days.
