There are two tropical waves in the central Atlantic that are showing the possibility of development within the next week. These waves are expected to move into more favourable area for development as they continue to track to the west.
The first wave is showing signs of bringing severe weather close to the Territory as early as Tuesday through Thursday of next week. As for the second wave, there is still a high level of uncertainty for the track and intensity
Models are still in conflict regarding intensity and tracking for both disturbances. At this time the Department of Disaster Management asks residents to pay keen attention to updates while and monitor the progress of both disturbances. Residents should take this time to familiarize themselves with their emergency plans so they can activate if the need arises.
