~ Warnings/watches may be issued at short notice ~
CAY HILL--The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) continues to monitor the approaching low pressure system/tropical wave closely and urges the community to do the same. The ten Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) remain on high alert today and Tuesday, and are prepared to take any immediate action.
Regardless of tropical cyclone formation, this system will bring locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds.
The Department of Disaster Management ODM "strongly" advised the population on Sunday evening to continue to monitor the progress of this weather system, which could be upgraded to a tropical depression or tropical storm today or Tuesday. ODM will continue to monitor the system closely for possible further development. The public will be duly informed.
According to the Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center, an elongated area of low pressure extending from the Lesser Antilles Eastward several hundred miles into the tropical Atlantic Ocean is producing a large, but disorganised area of showers and thunderstorms. Conditions are expected to remain favourable for a tropical depression or tropical storm to form and this system has a high chance ? 90 per cent ? of becoming a tropical cyclone as it moves West-Northwestward around 15mph.
If this system becomes a tropical cyclone on Monday, tropical storm watches or warnings would be issued for portions of the Northern Windward Islands and the Leeward Islands on very short notice and interests in these areas should monitor this system's progress closely, according to the National Hurricane Center.
A hurricane-hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system this morning.
