Tropical Storm Harvey is continuing to move westward over the eastern Caribbean Sea.
Harvey is moving toward the west near 18 miles per hour and a faster motion toward the west is expected during the next couple of days.
On the forecast track, the center of Harvey will move across the eastern and central Caribbean Sea over the weekend.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 miles per hour with higher gusts and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles to the north of the center.
Slow strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours.
Harvey is expected to produce up to 4 inches of rain across portions of the Windward Islands from Martinique southward to Grenada.
These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) and the Meteorological Service continue to monitor the development of Tropical Storm Harvey.
The ODPEM says Harvey should pass well south of Jamaica tomorrow into Monday.
While it is not predicted that Jamaica will experience Tropical Storm conditions, the ODPEM says weather condition across the island could deteriorate.
The ODPEM is urging Jamaicans to take the necessary precautions and continue to monitor the media.
