is moving toward the west near 17 mph (28 km/h). A relatively quick westward to west-northwestward motion is expected during the next few days. On the forecast track, the system is expected to move across the Windward Islands late Sunday night and Monday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Steady strengthening is forecast, and the depression is expected to become a tropical storm tonight or early Saturday and a hurricane in a couple of days.
Another tropical wave located over the far eastern Tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 17 mph or 28 km/h. This wave has a low chance of development during the next seven (7) days.
Interests in the Lesser Antilles should continue to monitor the progress of these systems.
