BMS monitoring system

The Barbados Meteorological Services is closely monitoring the progress of an area of interest in the Central Tropical Atlantic approximately 1120 miles / 2100 km east of the Lesser Antilles at 11:00 am.

There are no watches or warnings in effect for Barbados associated with this system.

This feature is projected to pass north of Barbados sometime between Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th August 2024.

During this time light winds are likely across the island with the possibility of localized activity. Due to the light winds, warmer temperatures may result in heat stress.

Discussion Model guidance suggests that the feature should approach the Lesser Antilles early next week.

There is some deviation regarding the intensity, however, environmental conditions are expected to be marginally favorable for some slow development as the feature tracks west-northwestward.
