There won't be a cruise if the NHC track happens.

Major hurricane+Northwest Caribbean=sorry.

Hopefully it doesnt hit Cozumel as a major. That would be horrible. Was there just a little more than a month ago(the same time I ran into Arlene too).

No...They might get some limited rain/wind..

But it is already taking a bit of a turn away from Venezuela...

The NHC probably doesn't even have Venezuela's phone number. :D

The Grenadines... St. Vincent...and St. Lucia.

A Tropical Storm Warning and a Hurricane Watch is in effect for
Trinidad.

A tropical storm watch is in effect for Martinique.

A hurricane or Tropical Storm Warning means that hurricane or
tropical storm conditions...respectively...are expected within 24
hours. A hurricane or tropical storm watch means that hurricane or
tropical storm conditions...respectively...are possible within 36
hours.

For storm information specific to your area...including possible
inland watches and warnings...please monitor products issued
by your local weather office.

At 5 am AST...0900z...the center of Tropical Storm Emily was located
near latitude 11.1 north... longitude 56.3 west or about 260
miles... 420 km... southeast of Barbados and about 345 miles... 550
km...east of Trinidad.
Emily is moving toward the west near 20 mph...32 km/hr...and a
gradual turn toward the west-northwest is expected during the next
24 hours. On this track the center will be near the Windward
Islands later today.
Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph... 95 km/hr...with higher
gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 24
hours...and Emily has the potential to become a hurricane before it
reaches the Windward Islands. An Air Force Reserve unit hurricane
hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate Emily this morning.

Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 85 miles
...140 km from the center.

Estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb...29.44 inches.
Emily is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 3 to 6
inches across the Windward Islands and portions of the north coastal
area of Venezuela...with possible isolated amounts of 12 inches
over mountainous terrain. These rains could produce
life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.

Coastal storm surge flooding of 1 to 3 feet above normal tide
levels can be expected near and to the north of the path of the
center.
Repeating the 5 am AST position...11.1 N... 56.3 W. Movement
toward...west near 20 mph. Maximum sustained winds... 60 mph.
Minimum central pressure... 997 mb.

Tropical Storm Emily Discussion Number 10


Statement as of 5:00 am EDT on July 13, 2005


The tropical cyclone is still in the organizing stage...and not very
symmetrical. Most of the deep convection is over the western and
southern portions of the circulation. Low cloud lines evident in
IR combination channel imagery suggest that the center is near the
northern edge of the main area of deep convection. In spite of the
storm's asymmetrical appearence...vertical shear remains weak over
the area. Perhaps the erosion of convection over the northeast
quadrant is due to an intrusion of drier air. Current intensity
estimate remains at 50 kt...and Air Force reconnaissance should
give US more precise information on the strength of Emily.
Upper-level outflow remains impressive and the SHIPS and GFDL model
predict significant strengthening of Emily as it moves over
increasingly warm Caribbean waters. My wind speed forecast is
quite close to the SHIPS guidance... and to the previous official
forecast. Emily could become a major hurricane in the western
Caribbean...but it should be noted that there is limited skill in
predicting tropical cyclone intensity change in 3-5 days.
Emily has been moving mostly westward...around 270/17. Dynamical
track prediction models are in good agreement on a generally
west-northwestward motion during the forecast period...as a large
area of mid-tropospheric high pressure is likely to remain to the
north of the tropical cyclone over the next several days. The
official track forecast is about in the middle of the dynamical
guidance suite...and also similar to the previous official
forecast.

That forecasted WNW motion just ain't happening and I doubt very much that the center is anywhere near 11.1 north. 10.1 north, perhaps. People in Venezuela better be prepared because, in my estimation, that's where it's headed! :eek:

EDIT: BTW, why on earth is St. Lucia (and even St. Vincent, for that matter) still under a hurricane warning? :?: Does the NHC think that somehow Emily's going to suddenly slow down and make a sharp turn to the northwest or something?

IMO, it may be because of the asymmetry of the system, with most of the north and east of the center...or possibly(this is less likely) they think that the center may be pulled north/relocate with that convection......rich
