Bridgetown 25th September 2016
A tropical system which developed just west of the African coast is steadily moving westward at around 20 mph . Models have been showing this storm will past roughly south of Barbados and are subject to change. Additionally, the National Hurricane Center has given this system an 80% chance of development into a named storm within the next 1-2 days. This means islands such as Barbados, St.Lucia, Grenada, Trinidad & Tobago, Antigua, Martinique , St.Vincent, Dominica and Guadeloupe , as well as Montserrat should closely monitor this storm as tropical storm force winds or higher can be expected within the week. Below is the current satellite loop for the system and is updated automatically.
