Across the Eastern Caribbean, the forecast showed that a low pressure system and associated troughs were expected to cause showers and possibly thunderstorms across the northern Windward Islands, the Leeward Islands and the Virgin Islands, mainly on (Friday) afternoon.

Meanwhile, daytime heating and a weak tropical wave are likely to cause scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms across Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. A flash flood watch, issued by the Puerto Rican authorities, was scheduled to come into effect Friday afternoon for all of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
