SINT MAARTEN – UPDATE - The low pressure system that formed in the far Atlantic Ocean well east of the Lesser Antilles are dissipated.
ARCHIVE: August 11, 2014 - With the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season now in its third month, and approaching the peak period of the season, the Caribbean islands will see additional weather systems developing and moving towards the Lesser Antilles island chain.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has already identified a system in the far Central Atlantic Ocean which is monitored for potential development.
As of Monday, August 11, 2014, a broad area of low pressure located a couple hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, has a 30 per cent chance of developing over the next five days as it approaches an environment that is more conducive for the system to become more active. It is moving westward at 15 miles per hour.
