The chances of a tropical system developing east of the Caribbean have decreased, but forecasters say heavy rainfall, gusty winds and choppy seas could still affect parts of the Lesser Antilles this weekend.

As of 2 pm Thursday, its showers and thunderstorms had become less organised and the system no longer had a closed circulation.
