No watches or warnings are in effect for the country at this time, but the Barbados Meteorological Services continues to monitor an area of disturbed weather approaching the island.

It is associated with an elongated area of low pressure located about 100 miles or 160 kilometres to the east of Barbados at noon on Monday.

There was no significant change to the overall structure of the system in the morning and convection continues to fluctuate. It remains elongated and poorly organised.

Some slow development is possible as it moves towards the west-northwest around 10 to 15 mph.

Current forecast tracks indicate that the centre of the area of low pressure should pass north of Barbados late this afternoon.

The public is advised to continue to monitor the progress of this system over the next 12 hours.

The next update will be at 5 p.m., or sooner if conditions warrant. (PR/SAT)
