Meteorological officials from the Meteorological Services of MBIA and the Grenada Airports Authority (GAA) have released an updated advisory tracking three active tropical waves moving westward across the eastern Tropical North Atlantic, within the key monitoring zone stretching from 10° to 20° North latitude and 40° to 65° West longitude that covers the region off the coast of Grenada.
The westernmost of the three disturbances, Tropical Wave 1, has its central axis positioned just east of Grenada near 61° West, south of 18° North. Currently moving west at a steady clip of 10 to 15 knots, the system is not producing significant organized convective activity, but it is projected to pass over the island of Grenada later today.
Further east across the Atlantic basin, Tropical Wave 2 sits with its axis near 53° West, south of 15° North, roughly 511 nautical miles east of Grenada. This system is progressing westward slightly faster at approximately 15 knots. Based on its current forward speed and trajectory, forecasters project the wave will move across the southern Windward Islands in the early hours of Thursday morning. The passage of the system will bring increased cloud cover to the region along with scattered showers through the period.
The farthest system from the Caribbean, Tropical Wave 3, is centered near 41° West, south of 14° North, approximately 1215 nautical miles east of Grenada. It maintains a westward movement between 10 and 15 knots, consistent with the broader trade wind pattern across this stretch of the Atlantic.
In their latest outlook, meteorologists confirmed that no tropical cyclone formation is expected over the monitored area within the next 48 hours, giving no immediate cause for heightened alert for Caribbean island nations in the region. The next official advisory update is scheduled to be released at 2 pm local time.
