OFFICIAL STATEMENT #1  
ATLANTIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BECOMING MORE ORGANIZED 
 
The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has been closely monitoring a low-pressure system in the Atlantic which has an 80% (high) chance of development into a Tropical Depression over the next 48 hours. 
 
The system is located approximately 2100 km east of the Lesser Antilles, centred near 11N 40W and is moving westward near 30 km/hr.  
 
Current analyses suggest that on its projected track, the centre of the system is forecast to reach the Leeward Islands by the night of Wednesday 29th July, 2020. At this time, the system poses no direct threat to Trinidad and Tobago.  
 
The TTMS will continue to closely monitor this system and will issue an update at 6:00 am tomorrow or earlier if the situation warrants. As always, pay close attention to information being issued by the TTMS by visiting www.metoffice.gov.tt, downloading our mobile app (search: TT Met Office) and following us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
