Description
THE ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE CONTINUES TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF TROPICAL STORM ERIN. THE SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A HURRICANE IN THREE DAYS AND BE IN THE VICINITY OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA AND THE REST OF THE NORTHEAST CARIBBEAN.
THE BEST FORECAST REMAINS FOR THE CENTRE OF ERIN TO PASS NORTH OF ALL THE ISLANDS. HOWEVER, FURTHER SHIFTS TO THE SOUTH COULD BRING THE CORE OF THE SYSTEM DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE ISLANDS LATE FRIDAY AND OR SATURDAY. NOTWITHSTANDING, IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IMPACTS ERIN MIGHT BRING TO THE ISLANDS.
Instructions
INTERESTS IN THE LEEWARD ISLANDS AND THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS CYCLONE AND BE PREPARED FOR THE REST OF THE HURRICANE SEASON.
