The system is moving towards the west near 25 km/hr. Latest analyses indicate that on the projected track, it should begin moving across the southern Eastern Caribbean islands on Sunday 30th August, 2020.
The TTMS will continue to closely monitor this system and will issue an update at 9:00 am tomorrow or earlier if the situation warrants.
