The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has issued an update on the weather in the Caribbean, where a low-pressure trough located a few hundred miles east of the Bahamas is generating disorganized rains and thunderstorms.
Although the chances of this disturbance developing into a tropical storm are low—at only 10% probability over the next 48 hours and the next 7 days—the system continues to move west and northwest, slowly approaching the Bahamas archipelago.
Regardless of its development, meteorological authorities warn that this trough could bring heavy rains and strong winds to parts of the Caribbean, particularly the Bahamas, over the weekend. This may result in adverse weather conditions, so residents in the region are advised to remain vigilant and follow the guidance of local civil protection authorities.
Will it have an impact in Cuba?
The system does not pose a significant threat to Cuba regarding cyclonic development, as the likelihood of formation is expected to remain low.
However, it is anticipated that the rain areas associated with the trough could impact the weather in eastern Cuba in the coming days, potentially resulting in moderate precipitation.
The island's meteorological authorities urge the population to stay alert for weather updates, especially in the eastern part of the country, where some indirect effects may be observed.
For its part, Tropical Storm Rafael remains active in the central Gulf of Mexico, under constant monitoring by the NHC. Although located far from the eastern Caribbean, this storm continues to be a focus of attention due to its potential impact on Gulf areas.
