The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) is closely monitoring the progress of an area of disorganised convection near 11N 46W, about 893miles/ 1438km to the east-southeast of Barbados at 11 a.m. Sunday.
There are no watches or warnings in effect for Barbados associated with this system.
Potential Impacts
On its current track, this feature is expected to pass to the north of Barbados around Wednesday this week. As a result, no direct impacts are currently expected.
What you should do
The public is encouraged to monitor the BMS, DEM, and GIS websites, their respective social media pages, and the local media networks for further updates over the coming days.
The BMS says environmental conditions remain unfavourable for significant development of the system in the coming days, hence, no direct weather impacts are forecast for Barbados. Indirect impacts include a reduction of wind speeds from Tuesday through Thursday. This will result in warmer days with increased heat stress for Barbadians. In addition, some isolated afternoon showers during this period are also anticipated.
