WEATHER INFORMATION STATEMENT #2 FOR BARBADOS
Effective
12:00:17 2024-09-10
Expires
11:00:00 2024-09-11
Description
The Barbados Meteorological Services is closely monitoring the progress of two areas of low pressure located near 15N, 41W and 12N 33W at 11am LST. This is about 1950 km and 2820 km (or 1210 and 1750 miles) respectively to the east of Barbados.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO WATCHES OR WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR BARBADOS FOR THESE SYSTEMS.
Potential Impacts
On the current forecast track, both systems are expected to track north of Barbados over the weekend. As such, these systems pose no direct threat to Barbados.
What you should do
The public is encouraged to monitor the BMS, DEM and GIS websites and their respective social media pages along with the local media networks for further updates over the coming days.
Discussion
Environmental conditions are conducive for the slow development of these systems over the coming days. However, while no direct impacts are expected for Barbados, the presence of these systems in our region will extend the period of light wind speeds,
uncomfortably warm days and heat stress for persons on the island. Additionally, localized afternoon showers will remain likely during the coming days.
