The Barbados Meteorological Services is currently monitoring an area of disturbed weather associated with an elongated area of low pressure located some 385 miles or 620 kilometres to the east of Barbados at 2 p.m.

There are no warnings or watches in effect.

“During the morning and the early afternoon, convection continued to fluctuate as the system remained elongated and poorly organised.

“Some slow development of this system is possible as it moves towards the west-northwest near 10 to 15 mph. Current forecast tracks indicate that the centre of the area of low pressure should pass north of Barbados late Monday evening,” the Met Office said in a bulletin.

Members of the public have been advised to monitor the progress of this system over the next 24 to 36 hours. The next update will be at 5 p.m. (PR)
