SHOWERS and gusty squalls have been forecast for the Bahamas this week as a double-barrelled slow-moving tropical disturbance takes hold in the Atlantic.
#Forecasters at AccuWeather believe the disturbance will bring downpours to some of the islands of the northern Caribbean this week.
#The duo has the potential to bring very isolated disruptions, flash flooding and rough seas and surf.
#Sporadic downpours and gusty squalls will affect parts of the Leeward and Windward islands, the British and US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico over the next couple of days.
#During the middle of this week, shower and thunderstorm activity is likely to kick up over Hispaniola and the Turks and Caicos, says AccuWeather.
#Later in the week, the Bahamas may experience an uptick in showers and locally gusty squalls.
#The activity may linger for several days, because a broad area of moisture will follow the double-barrelled feature.
#The area from the northeast Caribbean to the area near and east of the Bahamas, along with several other areas in the Atlantic Basin, will be watched for slow tropical development.
#Another system near land worth keeping an eye on is a feature near the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
#Since last week, the Atlantic has been only a couple of clicks away from development. Boating and shipping interests should monitor the tropical Atlantic on a daily basis.
#The pockets of disruptive winds and dry air near weak disturbances now will not likely last much longer.
#However, at least in the short-range, there are no major concerns with the atmosphere keeping its foot on the brakes as we approach the peak of the hill for typical hurricane development, says Alex Sosnowski of AccuWeather.
