TROPICAL TIDINGS:
A broad area of low pressure over the central Caribbean Sea continues to produce a large area of showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are conducive for development, and a tropical depression is likely to form within the next couple of days while the system moves slowly westward into the western Caribbean Sea. Afterward, further development is likely while the disturbance meanders over the western Caribbean Sea through the weekend. The system is expected to turn slowly northwestward by early next week. Interests across the western and northwestern Caribbean Sea should monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, heavy rains are expected over Jamaica during the next day or so. For more information on this system, including gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. An Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this system later today. - NHC

A thank you to Agriculture AgriFood Canada and the Maritime Beef Council for having me speak at their conference this past weekend in Moncton, NB, Canada with stops in Toronto, Halifax, and New York along the way. We discussed sustainability, particularly with drought, for cattle producers across the Maritimes, Canada, and North America. It was a great trip and glad to make new connections and catch up with existing ones.
