\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to regional meteorological services, the system is travelling westward across the eastern Caribbean at a speed of 20\u201325 miles per hour. Residents are being urged to remain alert, as downpours could lead to flash flooding in low-lying or poorly drained areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the disturbance has not shown signs of tropical cyclone formation, officials say it is capable of generating brief periods of strong winds and rough seas, especially around thunderstorms.<\/p>

Authorities are advising the public to stay tuned for updates from their local weather offices as the tropical wave continues its westward track into the Caribbean.<\/p>
