MET Office monitoring low-pressure area

Local meteorological officials continue to monitor the progress of a broad area of low pressure located over the Central Tropical Atlantic.

At 11 a.m., it was located near 10 degrees north, 42 degrees west or 1-thousand-181 miles east of Barbados

The Barbados Meteorological Services in its latest weather bulletin says environmental conditions remain conducive for some slow development of the system over the next few days as it moves westward to west-northwestward across the Central Atlantic.

Current model guidance indicates the system may pass north of Barbados sometime over the coming weekend.

There are no watches or warnings issued for Barbados on this system.

Mariners that venture far east have been advised to closely monitor the progress of this system over the next few days.
