Don't look now, but a new system in the Atlantic is likely to be the next tropical system of concern and it could cause big problems over the Antilles next week.

A strong tropical wave is cruising westward across the central Atlantic Basin this weekend, and the early indications are that this system will bring heavy rainfall and gusty squalls to the Windward and Leeward islands next week.

The system, even if it is not yet a tropical depression or tropical storm at the time of passage could bring risk to lives and property from flash flooding, mudslides and washouts.

The same system is being shown by some of our forecast tools to grow stronger while crossing into the Caribbean or over the Antilles that border the Caribbean and the Atlantic.
