Share post:

The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) is monitoring a tropical wave located in the far eastern Atlantic near 30W.

This system wave is expected to track westwards within the next four to five days.

Environmental conditions are expected to become marginally favorable in 72 hours for slow development. However, this is expected to be shortlived as the system approaches an unfavourable environment closer to Barbados early next week.

There are no watches or warnings in effect for Barbados.

This statement will be updated at 11 a.m. tomorrow. (PR/SAT)
