Tropical wave East of Lesser Antilles

[colbroe]

This wave has looked very impressive over the last few hours , Caribbean islands are in for some more rain .

For sure,there is plenty of rain in the area but anything to be concerned in terms of Tropical Development as the wave is interacting with an upper trough.
