Local Weather
Partly to Mostly Cloudy, with a few passing showers & slight risk of a thunderstorm or two.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Ophelia (see below) has remained stationary (not moving) and is located just to the East of the local region as a cluster of disorganized showers & thunderstorms. As this system moves slowly towards the Northeastern Caribbean, expect increased shower activity during the next 24 or so hours with a possible thunderstorm or two over parts of the SSS (and the surrounding) Islands. Some of these showers may be heavy and can cause street-flooding  in low-lying & flood-prone areas. Furthermore, wind and sea conditions are gentle to moderate and may slightly increase in and around showers.

  • Winds: are generally from the West-Northwest at 5 to 10 miles per hour, with occasional higher gusts near showers.
  • Seas: are gentle to moderate with wave heights between 3 to 6 feet; and possibly higher in and around showers.

Tropical Weather 
Active Storms: Tropical Storm Phillippe.

* As of 5am this morning, Tropical Storm Philippe was located at 16.1N 35.1W or about 735mi West of the Cape Verde Islands/1850mi East of the Lesser Antilles. TS Philippe had winds of 50mph and does not pose a threat to the Caribbean or any land area, as it moves toward the Northwest and out into the open waters at 7mph.

* The remnants of Tropical Storm Ophelia is located just over 200mi East of the Northeastern Caribbean and is barely moving toward the Northwest. This system has a high (80%) chance of regenerating into a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours. However, regardless of (re-)development, the local region can expect scattered showers and thunderstorms at least until Wednesday.

We will continue to monitor the progress of these systems.


Special Weather 
None.


Outlook for tomorrow
Partly to Mostly Cloudy with periodic showers and a possible thunderstorms.
