An area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms about 700 miles east of the Windward Islands.

Some slow development of this system is
possible during the next couple of days while it moves westward across the tropical Atlantic and eastern Caribbean Sea.

Environmental conditions are expected to become less conducive for development by the middle of the week. Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of this system.
