WEATHER INFORMATION STATEMENT #1 FOR BARBADOS
Effective
06:49:33 2020-07-26
Expires
18:30:00 2020-07-26
Description
The Barbados Meteorological Services is closely monitoring an area of disturbed weather located near 11N 35W (2700 km or 1690 miles to our east).
Current Situation:
Although the system has become better organized during the course of the night, convection remains poorly organized for now primarily due to the rather broad circulation and dry air wrapping in from the north east of the system. There are no watches or warnings in effect for Barbados and this system posses 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 is likely to develop over the next day or two.
Track Forecast:
Currently there is a fairly good consenus in the model guidance that the system will track westward and then west northwestward over the next few days. With that said, such a track would take the center and associated cyclone winds closer to the Leeward islands ( well away from Barbados ) by Thursday 30th July, 2020.
Recommendations to the Public:
Monitor the situation closely with the BMS over the next few days.
The next update will be at 6pm Sunday 26th July 2020.
