WEATHER INFORMATION STATEMENT #3 FOR BARBADOS
Effective
06:24:35 2020-07-27
Expires
18:30:00 2020-07-27
Description
The Barbados Meteorological Services is closely monitoring an area of disturbed weather located near 12N 43W or 1850 km ( 1150 miles) east of Barbados.
Current Situation:
Convection associated with the system hasn't changed much during the course of the night and still remains poorly organized, primarily due to the rather broad circulation and dry air wrapping into the system from the north east. There are presently no watches or warnings in effect for Barbados and this system poses absolutely no threat to the island at this time.
Intensity Forecast:
As the system progresses westward, some slow but gradual development is forecast and a tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to develop over the next day or two. In addition guidance suggest that the feature should start tightening up its circulation by Tuesday morning, and make steady intensification from then.
Track Forecast:
Currently there is a fairly good consensus in the model guidance that the system will track westward and then west north-westward over the next few days. Such a track would take the center and associated winds closer to the northern Leeward islands (well away from Barbados) Thursday 30th July, 2020.
Recommendations to the Public:
Stay alert for updates from the BMS on this system over the next few days.
The next update will be at 6pm Monday 27th July, 2020.
