The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) is closely monitoring the progress of a tropical wave and an associated area of low pressure located near 14.5 N, 45.6 W or about 1510 km or 940 miles to the east of Barbados.
According to the meteorologist on duty at the BMS this afternoon, some models are showing the tropical wave will approach and affect the island from Wednesday night into Thursday, however others are showing the wave moving into the northern Leewards later this week, around Saturday.
Due to the inconsistencies of the models as it relates to the intensity and track forecast of this wave, the BMS will continue to monitor it closely.
The system remains disorganized at this time, but over the past 24 hours it has become slightly better organized.
Regardless of development, this system does not pose any direct threat to Barbados as it passes well north of the island. However, this will result in a reduction in wind speeds, and therefore conditions will remain warm.

Les prochaines perturbations à venir sur l’arc antillais – Meteo France
Dans un bulletin diffusé ce mardi 13 septembre, Météo-France invite la population à rester attentive quant à l’évolution de l’onde tropicale 34, actuellement à plus de 1500 kms de l’arc antillais.
Une nouvelle onde est attendue en fin de semaine. C’est ce qu’indique Météo-France dans son dernier bulletin de situation sur l’onde tropicale 34.
Selon les spécialistes, la perturbation est à suivre au cours des prochains jours car elle présente un risque d’évolution en cyclone en se déplaçant vers la moitié Nord de l’arc antillais (un peu plus de 1500km de l’Arc Antillais)
Selon Météo-France, l’onde tropicale 34 pourrait trouver des conditions favorables pour devenir une dépression tropicale puis une tempête tropicale en se rapprochant des Petites Antilles.
La menace liée à cette perturbation ressemble à celle associée au passage de la Tempête Tropicale Earl en tout début de mois.
La menace semble un peu plus importante pour les Iles du Nord et la Guadeloupe mais moins pour la Martinique qui devrait rester au sud du système.
La plus forte probabilité est pour le passage d’une dépression ou tempête tropicale à proximité ou sur la moitié nord de l’arc antillais à partir de vendredi soir.
À cette échéance de 5 jours, l’incertitude est grande aussi bien sur la trajectoire possible mais aussi sur l’intensité et sur le stade du cyclone lors de son passage sur ou à proximité des îles.
Selon Météo-France, l’important pour le moment est de rester attentif pour une menace possible en fin de semaine, qui sera affinée ou non dans les prochains jours.

Strang?’s finally got her signature scent: a candle by LA-based candle makers Boy Smells, ‘BS’ for short.
If you’re old enough to remember the Black American cult classic Boomerang, then the reference is self-explanatory.
Jamaican chanteuse/model/actress and global arbiter of style Grace Jones has created a ‘love letter to the motherland who nurtured her’, with the launch of her first-ever candle.
The Spanish Town, St Catherine native, defines the product as ‘the musk of Jamaica after it rains’ – think notes of black pepper, bergamot, freesia, waterlily and salted musk, among other scents.
Grace, the candle, is available for purchase in two sizes of 8.5 oz (single wick), or 27-oz (three-wick) candles in black matte gradient glass tumblers.

In late 2015, Boy Smells began as an experiment in candle-making in the Los Angeles kitchen of co-founders and partners Matthew Herman and David Kien.
Herman and Kien – both fashion veterans who worked in design (Herman) and product development (Kien) – began by making the things they’d want to use on a daily basis, products that were fluid, essential, but also affordable.
Boys Smells is currently carried in over 750 retail locations (300 in the US alone), across 35 countries on six continents, with over 25 original scents in various formats and aesthetics, plus five Unmentionables styles.
