With an environment of wind shear and dry air ahead, the future of Grace is somewhat uncertain. As of Saturday afternoon, the system was looking better organized via satellite imagery and a gradual strengthening trend is forecast in the short-term.
Into early this upcoming week, it seems likely that this system will start to weaken and perhaps could become a remnant low before reaching the Lesser Antilles late in the week. Grace is still more than five days away from the islands and poses no threat for the time-being.
