Barbados Meteorological Services Monitoring Tropical System in Central Atlantic: Updates and Projected Path, August 2024
The Barbados Meteorological Services is monitoring a system in the Central Tropical Atlantic. No warnings are in effect for Barbados. Light winds and localized activity expected. Potential for heat stress.
The Barbados Meteorological Services is closely monitoring the progress of an area of interest in the Central Tropical Atlantic currently within the monsoon.
There are no watches or warnings in effect for Barbados associated with this system.
This feature is projected to pass north of Barbados sometime between Monday, the 12th and Tuesday, the 13th August 2024.
During this time light winds are likely across the island with the possibility of localized activity. Due to the light winds warmer temperatures may result in heat stress.
Model guidance currently suggests that the feature should emerge from the monsoon as a tropical wave sometime on Sunday 11th
August 2024. There is some deviation regarding the intensity, however, environmental conditions are expected to be marginally
favorable for some slow development as it tracks west-northwestward from early next week.
