Tropical Wave Brings Heavy Rain and Gusty Winds Across the Islands

A rapidly advancing tropical wave near the Windward Islands has triggered widespread showers and thunderstorms, prompting meteorologists to issue warnings of heavy rainfall and gusty winds across the Windward and Leeward Islands until Monday morning. The system, moving westward across the eastern Caribbean at a speed of 20–25 miles per hour, poses a significant risk of flash flooding in low-lying or poorly drained areas. Although the disturbance has not yet developed into a tropical cyclone, it is capable of producing brief but intense wind gusts and rough seas, particularly around thunderstorms. Regional authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and stay updated with local weather advisories as the tropical wave progresses further into the Caribbean. The public is advised to monitor official updates and prepare for potential disruptions caused by the adverse weather conditions.
