While there will be a few isolated showers and thunderstorms each day, coverage will be low – less than a quarter of the area - and there will be many dry hours.

Rainfall will increase for the middle and end of next week.

The tropics remain quiet for the moment. A tropical wave next week over the Central Atlantic has some chance for slow development upon approach to the Caribbean.
