Met Office Monitoring Tropical Wave - Forecast To Affect T&T On Wednesday 16th October 201914/10/2019 UPDATE (4pm): The Met Office continues to closely monitor this Tropical Wave, located East of T&T. The axis is expected to pass over T&T Wednesday night into Thursday, slightly increasing the potential for Thunderstorms on both days. This Wave is expected to continue on a West-Northwesterly track and most of the activity is expected to occur North of T&T, but this can change. UPDATE (2pm): The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has increased the formation chance for development of this system to 20% through the next 48 hours and 20% through the next 5 days. Thunderstorm activity has continued to increase and the system has become a little better organized. Both the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service and the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are monitoring a Tropical Wave that is forecast to begin affecting T&T from Wednesday 16th October 2019. Locally heavy rainfall and Thunderstorms are possible and there is the threat of Street/Flash Flooding on Wednesday and into Thursday. Gusty winds in excess of 65 Km/h are also possible. Winds of this strength can produce wind damage, including downed trees, utility poles and roof damage. Localized power outages are possible. This Tropical Wave is currently located over the Central Tropical Atlantic and is producing disorganized cloudiness and Thunderstorms. While Thunderstorm activity has increased since yesterday (Sunday 13th October 2019), upper-level winds are not particularly conducive for significant development of this system over the next couple of days while it moves Westward at around 24 Km/h. By Wednesday, as the Wave approaches the Windward Islands, upper-level winds are forecast to become quite hostile for any further development. Formation chance through the next 48 hours is low (10%). Formation chance through the next 5 days is also low (10%). This is a developing story - stay tuned for updates.
