Interests in Montserrat should closely monitor its progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents are reminded to remain vigilant and prepared throughout the remainder of the hurricane season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 2:00 p.m., the tropical wave of interest was centered about 2,340 miles east-southeast of Antigua and Barbuda and the Leeward Islands, moving slowly westward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on ASCAT data, maximum sustained winds were around 25 mph with higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>? Formation Chances<br>Next 48 hours: Low (30%)<br>Next 7 days: High (70%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means development in the short term is unlikely, but the likelihood significantly increases over the next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note: There are no tropical cyclone alerts, watches, or warnings in effect for the area, and none may be required at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"665\" src=\"http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8690\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled.png 900w, http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-300x222.png 300w, http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-768x567.png 768w, http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-406x300.png 406w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>?
