Strong tropical wave being monitored

The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) is monitoring a strong tropical wave, which they say is “is exhibiting moderate to strong vorticity in the low to medium levels, and analysis, together with numerical models projections, is showing that over the next few days the possibility for some intensification exists.”

The Met Office added, “Trinidad and Tobago, the Windward Islands, and the southern Leeward Islands, are likely to begin to experience the weather conditions associated with this wave by early Monday (01st July 2024).”

Based on current models, and analysis from the TTMS, cloudy periods, with showers and a high chance of thunderstorms are likely. However, rhe TTMS explained, “The more intense weather is likely to be, but not confined to, from north Trinidad to just north of Barbados. This system could produce gusty winds, choppy seas, and street or flash flooding as it moves across the area.”
