ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - The Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services has indicated that there is a high probability a tropical wave will affect the Virgin Islands later tonight, July 7, 2020, and continuing into Wednesday morning, July 8, 2020.

“A fairly active tropical wave entering the region with deep moisture will heighten the chances of showers and thunderstorms,” DDM stated on its Facebook page this afternoon.

It said possible rainfall total for the forecast period is 6 to 13 mm or 0.25 to 0.5 inch.

Weather tonight: Cloudy with showers and a 40 percent or moderate chance of thunderstorms.

Winds: Easterly today then shifting to the east-southeast tonight with speeds at 24 to 37 km/h or 13 to 20 knots with gusts in showers peaking near 52 km/h or 28 knots.

Seas: 1.5 to 2.4 metres or 5 to 8 feet. A small craft advisory remains in effect mainly for the waters east and north of the islands.

    It's so funny that they onky know the weather when it reach and start to impact. So funny every time. So a little wind start to blow this evening and all of a sudden they know the forecast but didn't know before.

      @Mr weatherman. I never rely on BVI DDM for anything weather related. Your a** Will blow away in the wind if you leave it up to them for fair warning.

      Exactly! Always late. Its a good thing there are other ways to get weather updates before it happens as opposed to when it happens. So unreliable.

    Im happy that Grenada and St Vincent are now the new countties opening up on July 15th for Regional flights... Only St. Kitts. Dominica and BVI that have Caribbean people locked out.... Its Hurricne Season its only fair and Godly to consider our people and those that's been living amongst us for years...We can still comtrol our borders ... implement a 7 days quarantine for work permit holders and visitors at own expense. No Visitor upon arrival gets no more than 21 days stay...Who still wants to come let them come they kno the deal.... The caribbean has done a great job of curving the virus, reward them.....Just like how Britain reward us..
