Intensity Forecast: Conditions are currently marginally favorable for slow development over the next 24 to 48 hours as it approaches Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean however, after 48 hours numerical guidance suggests that conditions should become less conducive for tropical cyclone development as it crosses the island chain.
Track Forecast: The system is expected to track westward to slightly north of westward at 15 to 20 mph over the next 24 to 36 hours with some reduction in forward speed as the system interacts with a deep layered trough which is forecast to be anchored across the region on Wednesday.
Special Note: Regardless of development this wave in combination with a deep layered trough will bring some moderate to heavy showers and occasional gusty winds to Barbados on Wednesday.
Recommendations to the public: Stay alert for updates from the BMS on this system over the next 24 to 48 hours.
