TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION STATEMENT
ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE
9:30 AM ECT WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 03, 2025

The Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service continues to monitor the progress of an active tropical wave over the eastern tropical north Atlantic Ocean.

The system has a high chance of becoming a tropical depression or storm later this week or this weekend, as it moves in the general direction of the region.

At this early stage, it is very unclear if or when this system will develop or whether it will impact the region. Interests in the Leeward Islands and the British Virgin Islands should continue to monitor the progress of this system.

To be safe, residents are reminded to remain prepared for the remainder of the hurricane season.

At 8 am ECT or 1200 UTC, the tropical wave of interest was centred about 2130 miles east-southeast of Antigua and Barbuda and the Leeward Islands, moving west at around 12 mph.

Based on ASCAT data, maximum sustained winds remain near 25 mph with higher gusts. Formation chance through 48 hours is low at 30 percent, and formation. Chance over seven days is high at 70 percent.

This means development in the next 48 hours is unlikely, but there is a significant chance over the next seven days. Please note that there are no tropical cyclone alerts, watches or warnings in effect for the area.

The next update will be around 2 pm tomorrow, or sooner if required.
