Effective
11:01:09 2021-06-29
Expires
17:00:00 2021-06-29
Description
The Barbados Meteorological Services is closely monitoring the progress of two tropical waves in the central Atlantic.
**** There are currently no watches or warnings in effect for Barbados. ****
TROPICAL WAVE #16
The first tropical wave was located near 50W at 8:00 am today 29th June 2021, which is approximately 650 miles (1050 kilometers) to the east of Barbados. This system remains disorganized due to unsupportive surrounding environmental conditions. Further development of this system is likely to be slow as it tracks westward to west-northwestward at 40km/h (or 25mph). On its current forecast track, the relatively strong wind field is expected to pass north of Barbados on Wednesday afternoon, 30th June, 2021.
TROPICAL WAVE #17
The second tropical wave was located near 34W with an associated area of low pressure centered near 6.8N 34.5W or about 1760 miles (2835 kilometers) to the east of Barbados. Showers and thunderstorms associated with this feature have become better organized over the past 12 hours and some slow development of this system is possible as it tracks westward at 35 km/h (or 22mph).
Recommendations to the public:
The public is urged to monitor closely the progress of both of these systems over the next few days and stay alert for updates from the BMS.
The next update will be at 5 pm Tuesday 29th June, 2021.
