Cuba is monitoring a large low-pressure area that might develop in the next few days, favored by atmospheric conditions in the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

Havana, Cuba.- According to a special notice issued by the Institute of Meteorology (INSMET) on Friday afternoon, there is a trough over the Atlantic Ocean that is extending to the vicinity of the Lesser Antilles and the seas north of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, with strong nuclei with showers, rains, and thunderstorms.

In addition, a large low-pressure area is developing over the southwest of the Caribbean Sea, which is associated with abundant cloudiness and remains disorganized, over the central-southern portion of the Caribbean, close to northern South America and Central America.

The forecast models generally agree on the formation of a low-pressure area with several circulation centers over the Caribbean Sea and the seas north of the Greater Antilles, with possibilities of development of some tropical cyclonic organisms during the next few days; however, they show different solutions in the evolution and future trajectory of these systems.

Regardless of the development that these systems may reach and given the proximity to Cuba, the most important thing during the coming days would be the showers, rains, and thunderstorms that might affect the Cuban archipelago, including the eastern region, where abundant precipitation was reported in the last days of October, INSMET concluded.
