Yellow Hill – Thursday, 4 October 2022 – The Disaster Management Coordination Agency, DMCA continues to monitor the Tropical Atlantic. Potential Tropical Cyclone 13 in the Caribbean Sea and Tropical Depression 12 in the Eastern Atlantic are not a threat to Montserrat, and there are no watches or warnings issued for the island.

In its 2PM Tropical Outlook issued by the National Hurricane Center, it states that Potential Tropical Cyclone 13 formed in the Caribbean Sea could become a tropical depression by tonight, and is forecast to become a tropical storm on Friday. The system is then expected to become a hurricane by Sunday as it approaches the coast of Nicaragua.

Meanwhile, Tropical Depression Twelve is barely holding on at this point. This depression is barely a tropical system as it continues to move away from the African coast. There is no chance of development into a tropical storm.

DMCA is urging residents to pay close attention to information issued by the DMCA and be prepared as the 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season is far from over.

DMCA will continue to monitor the Tropical Atlantic and provide regular updates as deemed necessary.
