Tropical Waves Forecast To Move Through Caribbean This Weekend, NWS Says

SAN JUAN — The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor an area of low pressure well east of Bermuda. No impacts are expected for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

A tropical wave moving across the eastern Caribbean will move westward to the central Caribbean through today and the western Caribbean through Sunday.

Another tropical wave will move across the Windward Islands tomorrow, across the southeastern Caribbean on Saturday, the south-central Caribbean on Sunday and the western Caribbean on Monday.

The passage of the tropical waves will modulate fresh to strong winds across mainly the central Caribbean through the period.


John F. McCarthy is a veteran journalist in the Caribbean, writing from the "Decision Space" where survival meets the surreal. His reporting steel was tempered by a lineage of legendary editors and broadcasters, including Ed Wynn Brant (The Bomb), Owen Eschenroder (Ann Arbor News), Lynelle Emanuel (BVI Beacon), and Charles Thanas (WSVI-TV). Alongside longtime colleague Kenneth C. "Casey" Clark, McCarthy has navigated the front lines of the territory’s history—from the 1997 volcanic "snow" to every major hurricane since Hugo. Known for leaning out of doorless helicopters to capture the "money shot," McCarthy now edits the V.I. Free Press, providing the essential link between the island's colonial past and its SpaceX future.
