The Barbados Meteorological service is closely monitoring the progress of Tropical Depression seven, located near 10.0N 42.4W at 5 a.m.

This is about 1900km or 1180 miles to the east south-east of Barbados. The system is moving towards the west north-west at 12 mph or 19 km/h. A generally westward motion at a faster forward speed is expected during the next few days.

Convection has showed continued improvement during the night with the development of convective banding features. The depression could be updated to a tropical storm some time today.

At the moment environmental conditions are currently marginally conductive for rapid development of the cyclone system, However, as the system tracks westward cars the central Atlantic some development is still possible and a tropical storm watch maybe issued for Barbados from 11p.m. Wednesday 22nd July, 2020 or sooner if conditions warrant.  (BMS)
