* Yellow: A tropical disturbance aka a cluster of showers & thunderstorms located in the central-north Atlantic Ocean (centered around 34°N 58°W) has a low (30%) to medium (50%) chance of developing within the next 2-7 days.
...This system poses no threat to the Caribbean.
* Grey: An approaching tropical wave centered around 54°W -- which is expected across the Caribbean today & tomorrow -- starting to affect the southern islands 1st.
...although the bulk of this trop. wave will stay mostly south -- it will bring a couple 🌧 + ⛈ to the SSS Islands tonight into Wed. Use Road Caution.
* Red: Another tropical wave, which just recently emerged off the coast of Africa (centered around 24°W) -- which has some shower activity associated with it, yet currently has no chance of developing within the next few days.
We will continue to monitor the Atlantic.
