By BBN Staff: The National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami, Florida has predicted thunderstorm activities associated with a strong tropical wave located over the central Caribbean sea about 350 miles East-South-East of Kingston, Jamaica that continues to organize.

According to the NHC, earlier satellite wind data indicates that the system is producing winds of 40 to 45 mph, and recent satellite and ship observations suggest that a circulation is gradually becoming better defined.

If this activity continues, the wave is likely to become a tropical storm later today or tonight as the system moves westward over the West-Central Caribbean sea at 20 to 25 mph. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds, perhaps to tropical storm force, are likely along the southern coast of the Dominican Republic and Haiti today, the NHC advises.

Tropical storm conditions are likely to occur over Jamaica by this afternoon or evening, and could reach the Cayman Islands overnight. Other territories in these areas, including Belize, and elsewhere in the Western Caribbean Sea should continue to monitor the progress of this disturbance.
