FORECAST...TROPICAL DEPRESSION FOURTEEN IS FORECAST TO APPROACH
THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN FRIDAY AND ACROSS THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA
BETWEEN SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
&&
.DISCUSSION...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. A FEW OF THESE SHOWERS BRUSHED THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN
COAST OF PUERTO RICO...NO SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL ACCUMULATION WAS
REPORTED BY THESE SHOWERS. THIS AFTERNOON...SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE WESTERN INTERIOR AND THEN
SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTHWEST.
A TROPICAL WAVE NOW LOCATED JUST EAST OF THE LESSER ANTILLES WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE WEST AND ENTER THE LOCAL REGION LATER TONIGHT.
THIS FEATURE WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY THE SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH LATE THURSDAY.
AT 500 AM AST...HE CENTER OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION FOURTEEN WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 12.0 NORTH...LONGITUDE 39.9 WEST. THE
DEPRESSION IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST NEAR 20 MPH. THIS TROPICAL
SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSEST TO OUR LOCAL REGION ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
RESIDENTS AND VISITORS OF PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS
SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS TROPICAL SYSTEM.

.AVIATION...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS ALL
TAF SITES THROUGH 07/17Z. SOME SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE
MORNING HOURS ACROSS TNCM...TKPK...AND TISX. AFT 07/17Z...TEMPO
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS...WITH MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
THE CORDILLERA CENTRAL IN SHRA AND TSRA...AFFECTING TJMZ...TJBQ AND

OUR LOCAL WATERS LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. THIS FEATURE WILL
INCREASE THE WINDS ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS THEREFORE GENERATING

Re: Caribbean - Central America - Watching track of TD14
This mornings discussion from Rob of Crown Weather:
Tropical Depression #14:
Invest 95L was upgraded to Tropical Depression #14 yesterday afternoon. The depression is close to tropical storm strength this morning and I suspect we will see it upgraded to Tropical Storm Maria sometime today. The latest intensity guidance forecasts very little strengthening of TD 14 with most model guidance forecasting it to remain a weak 40 or 45 mph tropical storm right into this weekend. It appears that this system will remain weak due to the combination of shear being imparted on the depression by a trough of low pressure located about 500 miles northwest of this system and the fact that this system may try to outrun itself over the next several days. The European model weakens it after today and keeps it weak right into early next week before strengthening it again near the Bahamas next Wednesday.
Tropical Depression 14 is tracking slightly north of due west at a forward speed of 18 to 19 mph. This forward speed is expected to increase over the next couple of days and the low level center may try to outrun any mid-level center and keep this system quite weak. This track will bring this system into the northern Leeward Islands as a tropical storm on Saturday and then across the Virgin Islands as a tropical storm on Saturday night. After that, it looks likely that we will have a strong trough of low pressure located over the Mississippi River Valley next week with a strong ridge of high pressue in the western Atlantic. This means that this system should be able to make it west of 70 and even west of 75 West Longitude. The GFS model forecasts a curve north and northeast well east of the United States next week while the European model forecasts a track that takes it very close to the outer banks of North Carolina next Thursday and next Friday.
I will be monitoring Tropical Depression 14 closely and I will keep you all updated.

I hope he is right..that the system will remain weak

do you all suspect the San Juan or St. John's , Antigua airports to shut down on Friday evening due to this storm? Or safe to fly in do you think?

SxmDCOMM - Office of Disaster Management Recommends Monitoring Approaching Tropical Storm Maria; Construction Sector and Wholesaler Warehouse Storage Depots requested to review plans of actions
By Roddy Heyliger <roddyheyliger at gmail.com>
Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2011 17:34:51 -0400
News Release
Department of Communication (DCOMM), Ennia Bldg., Longwall Rd., Philipsburg, Sint Maarten D.W.I. Tel. 00-599-543-1162 , 542-4119, Fax: 543-1169; Email: gis at sintmaarten.net; Website: http://www.sintmaartengov.org
For Immediate Release: Wednesday, September 07, 2011/N239
Office of Disaster Management Recommends Monitoring Approaching Tropical Storm Maria; Construction Sector and Wholesaler Warehouse Storage Depots requested to review plans of actions
GREAT BAY, Sint Maarten (DCOMM) – The Office of Disaster Management (ODM) is advising the population of the South side of the island to closely monitor the progress of newly formed and 13th storm of the season Tropical Storm (TS) Maria, which is approximately over 1000 miles from Sint Maarten in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean.
TS Maria is moving at approximately 23 miles per hour on a Westerly track which would bring it in our area over the weekend. Late Thursday an Air Force Reconnaissance aircraft will reach the system to investigate it further.
Tropical Storm Watches (issued 48 hours prior to arrival of storm conditions) could be issued on Thursday morning for the islands of the Northeastern Caribbean which includes Sint Maarten; however it is still too early to say what impact the storm will have on the local weather.
The 10 Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) of the island’s disaster management system have been placed on standby and to monitor closely the progress of TS Maria.
Residents are therefore advised to be prepared to take action if needed.
The ODM is also advising contractors, builders and sub-contractors to review their plans of action in order to take quick action to secure job sites in the event of a passing tropical storm/hurricane.
Materials such as plywood, shingles, zinc, and other construction material could become flying missiles capable of impaling brick walls or anything in its way. Construction debris can cause severe damage to property and cost lives.
Food wholesalers and warehouse depots are requested to review their plan of action to secure their properties in the event of a storm/hurricane threat.
Materials such as plywood, shipping pallets, food pallets, pieces of metal used to secure pallet shipments, can easily become flying missiles and a threat.
The ODM will closely monitor the progress of Tropical Storm Maria and the public will be informed in future communications and advisories on Thursday and Friday.

For Immediate Release: Wednesday, September 07, 2011/N239
Office of Disaster Management Recommends Monitoring Approaching Tropical Storm Maria; Construction Sector and Wholesaler Warehouse Storage Depots requested to review plans of actions
GREAT BAY, Sint Maarten (DCOMM) – The Office of Disaster Management (ODM) is advising the population of the South side of the island to closely monitor the progress of newly formed and 13th storm of the season Tropical Storm (TS) Maria, which is approximately over 1000 miles from Sint Maarten in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean.
TS Maria is moving at approximately 23 miles per hour on a Westerly track which would bring it in our area over the weekend. Late Thursday an Air Force Reconnaissance aircraft will reach the system to investigate it further.
Tropical Storm Watches (issued 48 hours prior to arrival of storm conditions) could be issued on Thursday morning for the islands of the Northeastern Caribbean which includes Sint Maarten; however it is still too early to say what impact the storm will have on the local weather.
The 10 Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) of the island’s disaster management system have been placed on standby and to monitor closely the progress of TS Maria.
Residents are therefore advised to be prepared to take action if needed.
The ODM is also advising contractors, builders and sub-contractors to review their plans of action in order to take quick action to secure job sites in the event of a passing tropical storm/hurricane.
Materials such as plywood, shingles, zinc, and other construction material could become flying missiles capable of impaling brick walls or anything in its way. Construction debris can cause severe damage to property and cost lives.
Food wholesalers and warehouse depots are requested to review their plan of action to secure their properties in the event of a storm/hurricane threat.
Materials such as plywood, shipping pallets, food pallets, pieces of metal used to secure pallet shipments, can easily become flying missiles and a threat.
The ODM will closely monitor the progress of Tropical Storm Maria and the public will be informed in future communications and advisories on Thursday and Friday.
