While I haven't issued any NHC products, my experience with other NWS warning products would lead me to believe that the line discussing distances is automatically generated. You'll have to take things up with the person who programmed the location files.bvigal wrote:Don't these people study geography? Fix position both 12z and 18z, 15.7N, is east of ALL the Leeward Islands. And if you count Dominica, which some do, it extends to 15.6N.THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM EARL AT 27/1500 UTC IS NEAR 15.7N 43.6W...OR ABOUT 1430 MILES EAST OF THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS...

Let's hope no

In spite of the Northern Leewards, Barbuda looks very well exposed too as Antigua given the latest projected path of the NHC. This thing is racing west very quickly at 32 km/h and is already on the 46W. At this rate it could be near the 49,5/ 50 W tommorow morning?! Intensity continues to be hopefully modest but the more it stays west the more chances it has to churn near all the Leewards. Let's continue to monitor closely Earl hoping for the best and keeping our fingers crossed.

Beautiful image right? This is a web cam from ST Maarten, one place that may be brushed by Earl. Lets follow this cam after sunday to see the effects from Earl as they occur. There are more cams at the first post of the Caribbean-CentralAmerica thread at U.S & Caribbean Weather forum.

Looks to be holding to a very steady westerly track.

More and more likely this does hit the NE Caribbean from the looks of things, not gaining any latitude at all today and if anything may have slightly shaved off some latitude.
This will probably be good news for the East coast though and bad news for the islands, because this is a highly likely to recurve system maybe like Luis was...(pray it don't get that strong!) and if that was to occur future Fiona would instead of being a threat to the east coast/Florida probably skirt away...
The fact that its moving so quickly to the west greatly worries me becuase it suggests the steering pattern is strong still...need it to weaken pronto really...
