The passage of a tropical wave and the presence of a trough system are expected to result increased cloudiness, scattered showers and possible isolated thunderstorms on the island, particularly from overnight into Wednesday. People in areas prone to flooding, landslides and falling rocks are advised to be on alert and to exercise caution during the period.
The Met office continues to monitor the progress of a tropical wave and its area of low pressure in the central tropical Atlantic. This system has a high chance of development into a tropical depression or storm, over the next day or two and is projected to be near the northern Leeward islands by the weekend. Residents are advised to continue to monitor for updates on the progress of this system.
Slight to moderate seas can be expected over the next few days, with wave heights reaching up to 3 feet along the west coast and up to 5 feet along the east coast.
