July 27, 2024
Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) monitors disorganized convection near Barbados. No current warnings. System expected to pass north next week with minimal impact. Public advised to stay updated through official channels.
The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) is closely monitoring the progress of an area disorganised convection near 9.5N,45W, about 1006 miles / 1620 km to the east-southeast of Barbados at 11 a.m. Saturday.
There are no watches or warnings in effect for Barbados associated with this system.
Potential Impacts
On its current track, this feature is expected to pass to the north of Barbados around Wednesday or Thursday next week. As a result, no significant impacts are currently expected.
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.
Over the next few days, the forecast environmental conditions do not favour significant development of the system. Consequently, no direct weather impacts are expected from this feature for Barbados. However, with the system currently tracking to the north of Barbados, a reduction in windspeeds is anticipated. This will result in uncomfortably warm days throughout the week along with some isolated afternoon shower activity.
The next update will be at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
