I dont think there is anything like a tropical wave watch... that is all it is right now

That banding we're seeing there is actually in the upper levels where there's organized outflow. However at the lower levels, there's nothing at this time to suggest circulation, and thus no inflow. No closed isobars = no defined curculation = it does not meet criteria for being called a depression/storm, however, storm-like conditions are expected with heavy showers and thundershowers and gusty winds in bursts exceeding 50km/h in some instances.

There's a 60% chance it could intensify (I'm hearing some saying 80%) over the next 12-24hrs and we're closely monitoring it and talking with the NHC, and the other MET Offices in the Caribbean to be able to give the public the earliest possible warning if it intensifies. You MAY get a just-in-case warning, but this is no indication to panic...just to be prepared.

At this point, it's all protocol. We can't jump the gun...we have to call it like it is.
We cannot advise anyone if to leave early because we simply provide weather imformation and that is not within the scope of our duties. Evacuation, leaving work early etc. is to be decided by you or your employer, however, bear in mind that for your own safety, if everybody leaves at the same time, there's bottlenecking and nobody gets home to secure their property. Be mindful of that.

Be also mindful that we are STILL in the hurricane season, and you all should've been prepared already to reduce the panic buying and the long lines at petrol stations...again, if u on the road, stuck in a line, u can't protect your property.

We're counting on the media to diseminate the information we give them verbatim so as not to spread unnecessary panic. Stay tuned for further updates.

[5onDfloor]

done tell rappapatzzi tuh hide his own away too!

[streetbeastINC.]

so the states and pre disaster systems that are activated in the states are realy dumb then? becuase they put evacuation proc. in place many hours before an event....?? because pre disast. prep. is based on effective warning systems.......and at the end of the day if it doesnt hit at least ppl were prepared...

[Hook]

Alright folks...not to panic you guys, but the probability percentage of intensification has been increased to 80% and NHC in Miami has dispached a recon plane. We'll see what we get from them and advise accordingly.
Please take the necessary precaution to preserve life and property and do so in an orderly, civilized manner.

Our phones are ringing non-stop so PLEASE refrain from using our resources for answering questions that can already be addressed by simply reading our information bulletins.
