Weak unstable conditions in the atmosphere over the northern and southern portions of our region, will result in some cloudy periods with showers and isolated thunderstorms over those areas during the forecast period.
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located a few hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands continue to show signs of organization. Although the system remains disorganized at the surface, environmental conditions are forecast to become more conducive for additional development during the next few days and a tropical depression could form by the middle of next week. This system is forecast to turn northwestward and then northward over the western Atlantic, passing north of the Leeward islands on Monday and Tuesday.
Another tropical wave located over the Eastern Tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h.
A third tropical wave located off the coast of West Africa is moving westward over the Tropical Atlantic.
