Tropical Wave Forming Near Aruba
Last week I noticed a weather system forming in the southern areas of the Atlantic Ocean but it didn’t form into an organized system. It dessolved but the pressure system continued. This was noticeable in Aruba with the unusually cloudy environment and rainy days.
This system continued westward and regained strength and now has organized into a “Tropical Cyclone Formation”. National Hurricane Center expects this system to bring thunderstorms and showers in the selected areas (orange area in the image below). Currently there is a 30% chance for it to form into a “Tropical Cyclone”. Expect rain in Aruba for the next 48 hours.

Our visitors get cranky when it rains, which is normal. Don’t let this ruin your vacation though. Just keep enjoying it as there are a lot of things you could do when it’s raining. Last year I made a list with Aruba activities, check it out and maybe you can find one that suits you.
Update: Last night it poured heavily, it even woke me up at night. Right now it’s morning and the sun is shining. The latest update shows that the system is moving away from Aruba and the chances for it to grow into a more serious storm has increased to 50% according to the Hurricane Center in Miami.
