Hi All,

Update on situation in Trinidad from The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management:

According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meterological Services, an Air force Hurricane Hunter Aircraft investigating Tropical Depression # 7 has indicated that the Depression has degenerated into a Tropical Wave. This wave is forecast to move rapidly to the west with the axis moving across the Lesser Antilles later tonight. Heavy rain and wind gusts are still possible across portions of the Lesser Antilles especially the Windward Islands.
