INFORMATION STATEMENT #6 ON AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER IN THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC
Effective
17:38:38 2022-08-31
Expires
18:00:00 2022-09-01
Description
The Barbados Meteorological Services continues to closely monitor an area of disturbed weather associated with an elongated low pressure of 1008MB about 980 KM or 610 miles east-northeast of Barbados. Satellite imagery has shown that the system has become slightly more organized this afternoon.
INTENSITY FORECAST:
Although conditions remain marginally conducive, the system is not expected to undergo any rapid development
FORECAST TRACK:
Extended forecast tracks remain consistent over the past 72 hours with a projected track well north of Barbados by Friday 2nd September 2022 as it slowly moves westward to west-northwestward around 5 to 10 mph.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
Although this system is not expected to directly impact Barbados, wind speeds across the island are forecast to decrease. This is likely to trigger moderate to heavy afternoon showers over some sections of the island during the next two days. Therefore the BMS is strongly recommending that the public listens for daily updates.
REMINDERS:
We are entering the peak of the hurricane season and the public is asked to ensure that their hurricane preparedness checklists have been completed and to be ready.
The next update will be issued by this department at 6 pm on 1st September 2022.
