Advisories to begin

The National Hurricane center (NHC) will start advisories on Potential Tropical Storm 9, at 11 am. Some of the Islands in the Lesser Antilles have issued  their own Weather Alerts Tuesday morning due to Invest 92L


Satellite Loop

Stats:
Location 14.0 N, 50.0 W or just over 400 miles East of the Windward Islands.

Moving: West at 15 - 20 mph

Winds: A NOAA buoy near the Islands reported winds near Tropical Storm Force (39 mph) 





From the Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological office:
A Tropical Cyclone Alert is in place for the Leeward Islands and British Virgin Islands. 
Even though 92 L has not formed into a depression or a storm, it is capable of heavy rain and gusty winds starting on Wednesday for you.

The say:
IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE IMPACTS, AT THIS TIME. NOTWITHSTANDING, AL92 IS FORECAST TO BE IN THE VICINITY IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS AS, AT LEAST, A TROPICAL CYCLONE. 

LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS ARE LIKELY ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS ON WEDNESDAY AND WILL SPREAD WESTWARD TO THE VIRGIN ISLANDS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

THEREFORE, IT POSES A MODERATE THREAT WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS FROM STORM-FORCE WINDS, ELEVATED STORM SURGE, EXTREME SEAS, MODERATE FLOODING AND POSSIBLY A FEW TORNADOES, RESULTING IN LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS, DISRUPTIONS TO DAILY LIFE AND SOME DAMAGE TO INFRASTRUCTURE. TO BE SAFE, BE PREPARED TO IMPLEMENT YOUR HURRICANE DISASTER PLAN.

Dominica: may issue A Flash Flood Watch or Warning on Wednesday. They expect 2 - 4 inches of rain with higher totals over high terrain. This could lead to flooding.

Puerto Rico: Their NWS office is suggesting the possibility of rain totals between 1.5: and 3.5" from today through Friday. Some due to a wave moving over the region now and the other from 92L. Winds may kick up to 20-30 mph and possibly stronger in high terrain and East Coast.
