** Tropical weather update **

1. A tropical wave located several hundred miles east of the Caribbean is producing limited shower activity. Significant development of this system is not anticipated as it moves west-northwestward.

2. A small but well-defined area of low pressure located about a thousand miles east of the Lesser Antilles is producing limited shower activity. Development of
this system, if any, is expected to be slow to occur while it drifts toward the west-southwest or west over the central tropical Atlantic through the middle of next week.

3. A large area of disturbed weather associated with a tropical wave located near the Cabo Verde Islands appears somewhat conducive for gradual development over the next several days, while the system moves generally west-northwestward across the tropical Atlantic.

The Meteorological Department of St. Maarten will continue to monitor these systems and update the public accordingly.
