Officials from the Meteorological Services, MBIA under the Grenada Airports Authority (GAA) have issued an updated tropical weather outlook covering the Tropical North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico, highlighting two active disturbances being tracked as of this update.
The first system, marked as a low-pressure disturbance located off the southeastern coast of the United States, sits embedded along a stationary frontal boundary. The system currently maintains a disorganized structure of scattered showers and active thunderstorms. According to forecasters, environmental conditions in the region are only marginally conducive to limited tropical cyclone development over the next 48 hours as the system is projected to drift southward initially before shifting westward. Later this week, conditions are expected to degrade further, making cyclone formation even less likely. Meteorologists assign just a 10% chance of development over both the 48-hour and seven-day forecast windows.
A second system, a tropical wave located in the central Atlantic, currently has its axis positioned along the 58th meridian west, stretching to the south of 14 degrees north latitude. The system is tracking westward at a speed of 10 to 15 knots, with scattered moderate convection concentrated along the wave axis and north of 6 degrees north latitude. Forecasters project the wave will pass over the island nation of Grenada between Monday night and Tuesday, bringing periods of cloudy conditions, light to moderate rain showers, and a chance of isolated thunderstorms to the area.
In addition to the two monitored systems, forecasters confirmed that no additional tropical cyclone activity is expected across the entire monitoring area over the next 48 hours. This official update is scheduled to be next refreshed at 2 pm local time.
