Hurricane for Jamaica on August 27?
August 27 is suppose to be election day in Jamaica but there might just be a little storm selecting Jamaica for day. I have been watching this little system on weatherunderground.com since Saturday night.
Now it is early days but the system has been upgraded to Tropical Depression number four. The commentary by Dr. Jeff Masters of weatherground.com suggest that it might not enter the Caribbean basin and models from the National Hurricane center's website seem to support his thoughts. However, Josh Nagelberg on Accuweather seems to have other thoughts, suggesting that it could be a powerful hurricane by the end of the week and will more that likely enter the Caribbean basin
Personally I don't think it be an issue(I am not a meteorologist) but we will need to keep our eyes on it. If come this Friday and the system is anywhere between 10-15N and 50-55W then we will have to open our eyes real wide. Until then, we simple keep one eye on the tropical system while the other on our hurricane stocks.
