A New Tropical Disturbance (yellow) is expected to emerge off the west African coast by the middle of next week. The system has a 20% chance of tropical development in 5 days.

The other two disturbances in the Atlantic have a 60% (orange) and an 80% (red) chance of tropical cyclone formation over the next 5 days, respectively.

Tropical Storm Ida has rapidly intensified and is now a hurricane impacting Cuba.

None of the Tropical Disturbances appears to be a threat to Montserrat at this time.

Residents, visitors, and in particular, the vulnerable are urged to be informed, be prepared and remain vigilant as we’re at the peak of the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
