Important position for islands 15n-50w

That position is my barometer one to see if really the leeward islands will be threatened.If it passes south of that position then the islands will be more threatened but if it passes to the north of there we can wave from the islands and say ADIOS.Now as it is still far away here in the caribbean we have plenty of time to watch the movement and see what will happen.

Cointinues westbound at 275 this morning so more weak more west and more closer to the islands but from Puerto Rico and from the islands we are watching the track to see if it passes south or north of 15n-50w.

If it continues on the track it is now, it'll affect the islands, but it's forecasted to turn. I'm leaning towards it passing north or just brushing the area.

Well track guidance is more to the left from 5 am so it becomes more important where from the position 15.0n-50.0w it will pass north or south of it and see if the islands will have a threat or not.

It's getting closer and closer to 50w and now as it nears that longitud the question continues to be if it will pass south or north of 15.0n-50.0w because it will have big implications for the islands if it passes south of 15.0n.

If it doesn't turn sharply, it will not. It's only at 11 N right now.
