This wave will trigger showers and possible thunderstorms and its associated instability should linger into early Sunday morning. The 2nd tropical wave(possible tropical cyclone) will be east south east of Barbados around Sunday night. As Monday progresses moderate to heavy rainfall, gusty winds and thunderstorm activity are likely. Residents and motorists should exercise caution.
