Since there are 4 waves, this is the one just entering the Caribbean


1. Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave are
gradually moving westward away from the Lesser Antilles. Although
the disturbance remains disorganized at this time, some gradual
development of this system is possible during the next several days
while it moves westward at 15 to 20 mph across the Caribbean Sea.
Regardless of development, this system will continue to produce
gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall across portions of the
Windward and Leeward Islands this morning before diminishing this
afternoon.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.
 
What a wave lol but according to the wind data it is a wave...

A seemingly well-organized cluster of showers and thunderstorms
associated with a tropical wave is moving quickly westward across
the central Caribbean Sea, but satellite-derived wind data from a
few hours ago again showed that the system has not developed a
closed surface wind circulation.
