OFFICIAL STATEMENT #2
ATLANTIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CONTINUES WESTWARD
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 1950 km east of the Lesser Antilles, centred near 11N 43W 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 pm today 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.
