Watches will be issued about 48 hours prior to impact, Luis. With impact of TS winds projected to be on Friday morning, that would mean watches would go up in about 2 days - on Wednesday. That's assuming Tomas doesn't dissipate by then. I have it weakening to a TD this afternoon. Don't believe the NHC 35kt wind radii south of the center now. Can't find any evidence of TS wind except possibly the NE quadrant.
