Showers and gusty winds during the weekend

The tropical wave #1 located about 1100 miles east of the Lesser Antilles is moving westward at 20-25 mph. The associated shower activity is poorly organized, and given the fast motion of the system any development should be slow to occur. Regardless of development, this system will likely bring showers and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the eastern Caribbean Sea during the weekend. By the middle of next week, the wave is expected to be in the western Caribbean Sea, where conditions could be more conducive for development. The formation chance through 48 hours is low, 10 %, 30 % through 5 days.
The second shower activity associated with a tropical wave and a low pressure system centered a couple of hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to show signs of organization. However, recent satellite wind data indicate that the low does not have a well-defined circulation. Some development is possible during the next day or two before the disturbance encounters a less favorable environment over the central tropical Atlantic early next week.
