2200Z Tropical Update


A tropical wave associated with a upper-level low pressure located about 300 miles east of the Leeward Islands is producing some showers and thunderstorms. Upper level winds are expected to gradually become favorable for development over the next few days as this wave moves to the west-northwest at 15 to 20 mph.

Area of showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure in the Southwestern Caribbean Sea have developed rapidly. Due to proximity of land...development will be slow to occur...but have enough time to briefly become a tropical depression over the next day or two as this low moves west at 20 mph.

Elsewhere...tropical storm activity is not expected within the next 36 hours.
