2 is a weak area of low-pressure that is nearly stationary near 12N and 78W.
There is some thunderstorm activity associated with this system, but
development is not expected over the next few days.


Some models indicate that Disturbance 2 will linger in the southwest
Caribbean and it could begin to show signs of development in about 5 days.


Presently the Disturbance is not a threat to the Virgin Islands however the
DDM will continue to monitor the situation and advise the public accordingly.


 As we approach the beginning of the
2011 Atlantic Hurricane Season, the DDM is advising persons to make all necessary
preparations. Also be sure to have your emergency kits checked and all contingency
plans revised.
