   <headline>WEATHER INFORMATION STATEMENT # 6 FOR BARBADOS ON TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWO</headline>              <!-- String Title -->
   <description>THE TROPICAL WAVE HAS DEVELOPED INTO TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWO
The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) continues to closely monitor the newly upgraded tropical depression located near 9.1N 41.9W 1225 miles/ 1970 km east-southeast of Barbados, at 5 pm today Friday 28th June 2024.

A TROPICAL STORM WATCH MAY BE ISSUED BY SATURDAY MORNING 29TH JUNE 2024. 

Potential Impacts
The system is expected to affect Barbados late Sunday night, the 30th of June into Monday July 1st 2024. As a result, there is the possibility of flash flooding and storm-force winds impacting the island during that time. Additionally, a small craft and high surf warning are currently in effect for above-normal sea swells.

What you should do
The public is encouraged to monitor the BMS, DEM and GIS websites and their respective social media networks for further updates.

Discussion
The tropical depression has shown significant signs of organization over the past few hours and is likely to be upgraded to a tropical storm by tomorrow as it moves towards the west at 17mph (28km/h). Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55km/h).  Model consensus continues to track the system just south of Barbados early Monday July 1st, 2024.
