Members of the public are advised to continue to monitor the progress of a system making its way across the central Atlantic.

At 11 a.m., it was located near 12N 49W or 1150 Km (710 miles) east of Barbados.

Environmental conditions remain conducive for some slow development of the system over the next 24 to 36 hours as it moves westward to west-northwestward across the Atlantic.

Current model guidance indicates the system may pass just north of Barbados sometime late Thursday night into Friday. Regardless of development, some shower activity can be expected from Thursday night into Friday.

There are currently no watches or warnings issued for Barbados on this system.

Mariners who venture far out to sea, small craft operators and sea bathers should exercise caution as sea conditions could deteriorate as early as Thursday.

The next update will be at 5 p.m. Wednesday. (PR/SAT)
