A tropical cyclone alert has been issued for St Kitts and Nevis, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Montserrat and the British Virgin Islands.
The alert has been issued as a tropical disturbance, AL98. According to Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services, there is a high chance of development, as it draws closer to the area.
The Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services says AL98 is expected to develop into a cyclone within 48 hours. The alert means a tropical storm watch or warning is not required at this time, but may be necessary in the near future.
