Tropical Storm Warning for Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada as Invest 94L becomes “Potential Tropical Cyclone”

Weather forecast for Tuesday, October 4

Hurricane Ian: Lee sheriff says fatalities likely ‘in the hundreds’ on national TV show

#94L is a “Potential Tropical Cyclone” which is a term used to describe a disturbance that is not yet a tropical cyclone but possesses the threat of bringing tropical storm or hurricane conditions to land areas within 48 hours.

A NOAA aircraft investigated 94L earlier and found the system is still not a tropical cyclone but possesses winds of tropical storm force to its northern portion

Overall the system is poorly organized presently but there is a good chance it will become a tropical storm before reaching the islands.

A WNW to Westerly track is anticipated for the next several days which should bring the center of circulation close to or over the northeastern tip of Trinidad by 2 am Wednesday then continue to pass over or close to the ABC islands by 2am Thursday 30th

At 8pm LOCATION…8.8N 51.6W

ABOUT 670 MI E OF TRINIDAD
