Weather Information Statement # 1 for St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG)
The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Services continues to closely monitor the progress of two tropical waves located over the Central and Eastern Tropical Atlantic.
Of immediate interest is the tropical wave closest to the region which is presently located approximately 1310 miles East of SVG. The movement is generally west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
The latest model forecast guidance suggests that environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this wave while it approaches the Lesser Antilles, and there is a medium chance (40%) that a tropical depression could form during the next seven (7) days.
Regardless of development, moderate to heavy showers, thunderstorm activity and gusty winds are likely across SVG from late Sunday. Therefore, watches or warnings may be issued.
This information statement will be updated as necessary.
