NHC Decreases Development Chances for Tropical Wave in the Atlantic
BARBADOS, JUL 20 – The tropical wave has only a 10% chance of developing into a named storm as it nears Barbados, with unfavorable conditions expected to hinder its strengthening, officials said.
- Barbados Meteorological Services said it expects the tropical wave to approach between July 23 and 24, supporting the forecast of proximity this week.
- By midweek, atmospheric pattern in the Caribbean islands is forecast to be quite hostile, implying any development would be weak, Colorado State University researchers said.
- Currently, the wave is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms, Barbados Meteorological Services said, with a 10% chance of development over seven days, an updated statement is expected at 12 noon on Sunday, July 20.
- The Barbados Meteorological Services urged residents to stay informed via BMS, DEM, and GIS, while the Met Office emphasised no watches or warnings are in effect for Barbados at this time.
- Slight development could occur late this weekend into early next week, National Hurricane Center said, as the tropics remain broadly shut down and conditions become unfavorable by midweek.
