BMS closely monitoring progress low pressure area

October 16, 2024

The Barbados Meteorological Services is closely monitoring the progress of an area of low pressure near 16N 49W at 11 a.m. LST.

The system is about 1154 km or 717 miles to the east-northeast of Barbados.

The low-pressure area is expected to track north of the island Thursday into Friday, as such, no direct impacts are likely.

Environmental conditions are marginally conducive to the slow development of the feature later this week.

As the feature nears the island chain light wind speeds are anticipated Wednesday and Thursday resulting in warm daytime temperatures with possible isolated localised shower activity into the afternoon.

The public is encouraged to official sources with further updates over the coming days.
