Tracking the tropics
A broad area of low pressure located a few hundred miles east of the Windward Islands continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms, mainly to the east of its center.
Strong upper-level winds are expected to inhibit significant development while the system moves west-northwest over the next couple of days.
Regardless of development, the system could produce locally heavy rainfall across portions of the central and northern Lesser Antilles on Wednesday, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Thursday and Hispaniola on Friday.
The National Hurricane Center says the area has a 10% chance of developing tropical characteristics over the next five days.
