…Tropical Depression Seventeen becomes Tropical Storm Paulette…

At 11:00 am today, the center of Tropical Storm was located near latitude 17.2 degrees north, longitude 42.2 degrees west or about 1375 miles or 2215 kilometers east of the Northern Leeward Islands. Paulette is moving toward the west-northwest near 3 mph or 6 km/h. A general west-northwestward to northwestward motion at a slightly faster speed is expected during the next several days. Maximum sustained winds have increased to 40 mph or 65 km/h, with higher gusts. Modest additional strengthening is expected during the next couple of days.

Also at 11:00 am today, the center of Tropical Depression Eighteen was located near latitude 15.7 degrees north and longitude 21.2 degrees west. The Depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 10 mph or 17 km/h and this general motion is expected over the next few days. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph or 55 km/h, with higher gusts. Gradual strengthening is forecast during the next few days and the depression is forecast to become a tropical storm later today.

On their current trajectory both systems are forecast to remain away from the Lesser Antilles. The Saint Lucia Meteorological Services will continue to closely monitor the progress of these system.

Low level moisture and instability together with an upper level trough, will cause some cloudy periods with showers over the region during the next 24 hours.

Two areas of low pressure over the central and far eastern tropical Atlantic have developed into Tropical Depression Seventeen and Eighteen respectively.

At 5:00 am this morning the center of Tropical Depression Seventeen was located near latitude 17.3 degrees north and longitude 42.1 degrees west. The depression is moving towards the west-northwest near 6 mph or 9 km/h. This motion is expected to continue for the next few days with a gradual increase in forward speed. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph or 55 km/h with higher gusts. Some slow strengthening is forecast over the next few days and the depression is expected to become a tropical storm later today.

Also at 5:00 am this morning the center of Tropical Depression Eighteen was located near latitude 15.2 degrees north and longitude 20.3 degrees west. The depression is moving towards the west near 12 mph or 19 km/h. This general motion with some increase in forward speed is expected over the next few days. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph or 55 km/h with higher gusts. Gradual strengthening is forecast during the next two days and the depression is expected to become a tropical storm later today or tonight.
