As of 2:00 PM EDT Sat Oct 18 2025...
East of the Windward Islands and the Caribbean Sea (AL98):
A tropical wave located several hundred miles east of the Windward
Islands continues to produce a broad area of showers and
thunderstorms. Earlier satellite wind data indicated the system
lacks a closed circulation, but is producing winds of 30 to 35 mph
to the north of the wave axis. Environmental conditions appear
marginally conductive for slow development over the next couple of
days as the system moves quickly westward at 20 to 25 mph, crossing
the Windward Islands and entering the Caribbean Sea by early next
week. By the middle of next week, the system is expected to slow
down over the central Caribbean Sea, where environmental conditions
could become more favorable for further development. Regardless of
development, this system is expected to bring heavy rainfall and
gusty winds to the Windward Islands Sunday and Sunday night.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
