TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

The Atlantic High Pressure System will generate light to moderate easterly winds across the region for the next few days. Low level clouds drifting along the wind flow will cause some showers to develop over the region, during the forecast period.

A tropical wave associated with an area of low-pressure located over the central Tropical Atlantic, is moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h. This system has a high chance of tropical cyclone development during the next 7 days, and is expected to impact mainly the northern portion of the Lesser Antilles from late Monday into Tuesday. Interests in the region are advised to monitor the progress of this system.

Another tropical wave has been analyzed over the far eastern Tropical Atlantic.
