UPDATE ON TROPICAL DISTURBANCE AL94.

THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO BE IN THE VICINITY OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY, AT WHICH TIME, IT IS FORECAST TO BE A STORM WITH THE POTENTIAL

TO BE A HURRICANE. AT THIS TIME, EVEN AT THE REASONABLE WORST-CASE, THE LIKELY TROPICAL CYCLONE POSES LITTLE TO NO WIND THREAT TO ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA, THE REST

OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS AND THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS. NO IMMEDIATE PREPARATIONS ARE NEEDED; HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THE HURRICANE SEASON.

 TROPICAL DISTURBANCE AL94, WAS LOCATED ABOUT 1700 MILES EASTSOUTHEAST OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS MOVING WEST AT 15 TO 20 MPH.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS WERE NEAR 25 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. THERE IS A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF FORMATION INTO A TROPICAL CYCLONE IN 48 HOURS AND A 60 PERCENT

CHANCE OF FORMATION IN 5 DAYS. THE DISTURBANCE COULD BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

 ON ITS FORECAST TRACK, THE PROBABLE TROPICAL CYCLONE IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE IN THE WINDWARD ISLANDS AROUND THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS A TROPICAL STORM WITH THE

POTENTIAL TO BE A HURRICANE. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY AND A LOT OF TIME FOR UNEXPECTED CHANGES TO TAKE PLACE, INCLUDING THE SYSTEM TRACKING MORE TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST CARIBBEAN AND RAISING THE THREAT LEVEL.

 PLEASE NOTE THAT NO TROPICAL CYCLONE ALERTS, WATCHES OR WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT, AT THIS TIME, AND NONE IS ANTICIPATED BASED ON THE FORECAST TRACK OF THE SYSTEM.

 RESIDENTS SHOULD MONITOR THIS DEVELOPING SYSTEM AND BE PREPARED FOR THE HURRICANE SEASON.

 THE NEXT UPDATE WILL BE GIVEN AROUND 8 PM TOMORROW OR SOONER IF REQUIRED.
