The National Hurricane Center is closely monitoring a tropical wave in the eastern tropical Atlantic that could impact the Caribbean region, including Antigua and Barbuda, in the coming days.
While development of the system is expected to be slow over the next few days as it moves westward, conditions could become more favorable for further organization early next week.
The National Hurricane Center has placed the formation chance for this system at 40% over the next 7 days.
If it does develop further, the current forecast suggests it could approach the Greater Antilles, which includes Antigua and Barbuda, by the middle of next week.
The system is then forecast to continue moving generally west-northwestward, potentially approaching the Greater Antilles by the middle of next week.
Residents in the Lesser and Greater Antilles are advised to closely monitor the progress of this system and make preparations as necessary.
