The Department of Disaster Management continues to monitor two tropical waves that are moving westward across the Atlantic. As of 2:00 pm, the closest wave is approximately 1,500 miles east southeast of the Territory, while the farther wave is approximately 2,750 miles east southeast of the Territory.
These two waves are moving into an unfavourable environment, which will reduce the chance of further development on these two systems. The Virgin Islands may expect to experience some effects from the first wave such as passing showers and occasional gusts late this week into early next week.
Residents are being encouraged to stay prepared as weather conditions can change over time. The next update will be at 8am tomorrow or sooner if necessary.
