The Department of Disaster is monitoring a tropical wave in the Atlantic that is showing high chances of development within the next week. Earlier today, Tropical Storm Helene also formed in the western Caribbean.
Neither of these systems are a threat to the Virgin Islands. While these disturbances may not be a threat, residents are being encouraged to monitor updates as these disturbances could possibly pave the way for other disturbances in coming weeks.
