The Barbados Meteorological Services is closely monitoring the progress of a tropical wave associated with an area of low pressure located near 10N 38W. This is about 2413 km or 1 500 miles to the east-southeast of the region.
The system is currently moving west to west-northwestward across the central Atlantic, and on its current track, the system is expected to pass well north of Barbados.
Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for the slow development of this system and a tropical depression could form over the next few days. This would likely cause the persistence of light winds and warm conditions across the region.
Generally warm conditions will persist throughout the week and into the weekend.
There are no watches or warnings in effect for this system.
The next update will be issued at 11 a.m. Wednesday. (PR/SAT)
