The Antigua & Barbuda Meteorological Services and the Department of Disaster Management (DDM) are monitoring Invest 92L.
INVEST 92L
Invest 92L is expected to pass North of the Virgin Islands tonight into Sunday. The system has the potential of creating an unstable environment from this evening into Monday. There is a possibility for more showers this evening however, the wave is expected to produce the bulk of its showers and possible thunderstorms later on Sunday into Monday. Some of these showers could be heavy at times and some thunderstorms may be capable of producing lightning. A rainfall total estimate of .40in to 1.00 inches is forecast for this period with the possibility of minor flooding.
Residents are encouraged to monitor the system for any sudden changes and be prepared to take the necessary actions.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION HARVEY
The northern fringe of Tropical Depression Harvey (downgraded from a tropical storm) coupled with an unstable air mass contributed to a few passing showers today. Harvey is located approximately 462 miles south east of the Virgin Islands and continues to move west at 22 mph. Harvey is not expected to impact the Virgin Islands and this will be the final notice issued by the DDM on TD Harvey.
