A hurricane hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the area of low pressure which is slowly becoming organised as it heads towards the Caribbean.
If necessary, this flight will take place tomorrow.
According to the 2 p.m. update from the National Hurricane Centre, a tropical depression could form over the “next day or two” as the system moves west-northwestward at ten to 15 miles per hour across the Lesser Antilles and into the Caribbean Sea.
After that time, land interaction could limit the development potential over the weekend.
Gusty winds and heavy rainfall are possible across portions of the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands tomorrow night and Friday. Interests in those islands should closely monitor the progress of this system. (SAT)
