I will be on the island till the third week of September. As I mentioned, in my last post, it is always good to be vigilant and monitor these systems. At this time, the system is one week away from possibly affecting SXM. Both marine weather apps continue to show the system going slightly north of SXM next Saturday. The GFS or European model shows a more westerly path going over top of SXM. These weather models vary because they all consider a current large high-pressure system in the north Atlantic. If the high-pressure weakens, the system will bend more north. If it strengthens and does not move, then the system will move more westerly.
Since these predictions are still one week away, a lot can happen.
The national hurricane center, which is always a good source, is always general in nature for a seven day forecast. They know that a seven day forecast can not be exact. A lot can happen in seven days with the track of a storm.
I am not a meteorologist, but it is always best to monitor and be aware of these systems as they get closer to see where they actually track.
