Synopsis...fresh to strong winds are expected in the south-
central basin through early Mon. Rough seas in N swell will
propagate through the Atlantic passages through early this week.
A tropical wave in the eastern Caribbean is producing fresh to
strong winds, rough seas and increasingly organized shower and
thunderstorm activity. The system is moving quickly westward at 20
to 25 mph, which will likely limit its development over the next
day or so. Thereafter, environmental conditions are forecast to
become more favorable for development as the wave slows down over
the central Caribbean Sea, and a tropical depression is likely to
form during the middle to latter portion of this week. Regardless
of development, heavy rainfall with locally gusty winds along with
fresh to strong winds and rough seas will accompany this wave as
it moves over the eastern and central Caribbean this week. There
is a low chance of tropical formation within the next 48 hours,
and a high chance within the next 7 days.
