Inclement Weather is Expected to Dissipate by Tuesday

According to the Chief Meteorologist, the inclement weather that is affecting the country will continue to Tuesday before we see some improvement.

“So the area of low pressure, of course, has already moved across Central America, but the moisture in its wake continues and we also have a moist northeasterly airflow behind that system which is helping to support these showers.  We see this continuing at least for the next two days, today and Tuesday and then late Tuesday into Wednesday we’re going to see a decrease and improvement in weather conditions.”

“Are we looking at anything else out there that is of concern, in terms of weather systems that may be forming?”

“Apparently there is nothing actually, across the entire Atlantic Basin, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.  So there is no tropical cyclone threat at least for the next seven days; however, we do know that we are still in the hurricane season, it extends until November thirtieth so we need to remain vigilant for anything that could develop between now and then and sometimes we have storms forming outside of the season as well.  So we need to keep our guards up. The National Met Service is, of course, keeping a vigilant eye on the weather conditions.  We have issued an excessive rainfall warning for the country and that continues.  We also expect that winds can become very gusty between showers and thunderstorms, so we advise mariners to exercise caution out at seas.”
