A low-level trough is forecast to be near the Cayman area, together with an upper-level low providing some enhancement, though the limited moisture present in the atmosphere. Daytime heating can provide the trigger for the isolated afternoon thunderstorm. Overnight, there can be an increase in cloudiness and the chance of the odd thunderstorm and moisture drifts of Cuba as well as an approaching tropical wave. Radar imagery shows distant showers to the south of the Cayman area.
