The active Tropical Wave east of the Lesser Antilles, which the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has been closely monitoring, has now been upgraded by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) to Potential Tropical Cyclone Five. A Potential Tropical Cyclone means that the system is not yet a Tropical Cyclone, but it poses a threat of bringing Tropical Cyclone conditions to land areas within forty-eight (48) hours. The Met Office states that at 5pm today (Wednesday 30th June 2021), the system was located approximately 1,920 Km East of the Windward Islands, centered near 9.6N 43.7W and moving towards the West-Northwest near 33 Km/hr. Current analyses suggest that on its projected track (see graphic above), the center of the system is forecast to move across the Windward Islands, North of Trinidad and Tobago, on Friday 2nd July 2021 and then move into the Eastern Caribbean Sea by late Friday night. It is likely that feeder band activity associated with the system will produce periods of rain/showers and isolated Thunderstorm activity with possible gusty winds on Friday (2nd July 2021) into Saturday (3rd July 2021) over Trinidad and Tobago. The Met Office underscores that at this time, the system poses no direct threat to Trinidad, Tobago, Grenada and its dependencies. The following is a summary of Tropical Storm Watches in effect for portions of the Lesser Antilles:
A Tropical Storm Watch means that Tropical Storm conditions are possible within the watch area within forty-eight (48) hours. The TTMS says it will continue to closely monitor this system and will issue an update at 6am tomorrow (1st July 2021) or earlier if the situation warrants.
