TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

Weak unstable conditions in the atmosphere over the region will cause some cloudy periods with showers and possibly isolated thunderstorms during the next 24 hours.

An area of disturbed weather located a few hundred miles south of Bermuda has the potential for some slow development over the next few days and a tropical depression could form later this week. However, the system is forecast to move northwestward over the open ocean and is not expected to pose a threat to our region.

Three tropical waves located over the Central, and far Eastern Tropical Atlantic are moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h.
