Effective

Expires
14:16:00 2024-07-02
Description
The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) continues to closely monitor the tropical wave located near 48W 1100km (600 miles) east of Barbados at 9 am today Tuesday July 2nd, 2024.
Potential Impacts
The tropical wave is expected to affect Barbados early tomorrow Wednesday July 3rd, 2024. During that time there is the possibility of flash-flooding due to moderate to heavy rainfall, occasional gusty winds and agitated marine conditions.
What you should do
The public is encouraged to continue monitoring the BMS, DEM and GIS websites and their respective social media pages along with the local media networks for further updates on this system.
Discussion
The tropical wave is currently no longer associated with an area of low pressure and remains poorly organized as it moves westward at 15 to 20 mph. Current analysis indicates that environmental conditions are only marginally conducive for development over the next few days as it moves westward and is expected to remain a tropical wave as moves into our area.
