So far, it looks like it will be going north of the BVI and St Maarten/St. Martin, but hopefully it won't even develop..

The noon reports today have this previous Invest now labeled Tropical Depression 10. Although *most* track predictions have it going North of the VI's in 108 hours it is absolutely worth watching and making any preparations that haven't been made already. Many here were unpleasantly surprised by Dorian 2 weeks ago as the *projected path* had it passing North of us until the 5am information the day of its noon arrival with a change in intensity and direction. Good satellite coverage: https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=catl&product=ir

Looks like it has a name now - "Ten" and they'r expecting some winds Friday morning. . . hopefully it remains a "tropical storm!" Ten is not a name so it's not a tropical storm yet. Don't rush us, please!!

As of now, no watches or warnings issued for the BVI's. According to Storm Carib, closest point of approach for Tortola as of now is "The approximate Closest Point of Approach (CPA) is located near 20.2N, 63.7W or about 132.7 miles (213.5 km) from your location. The estimated time of when the center of the storm will be at that location is in about 39 hours and 14 minutes from now (Saturday, September 21 at 6:00AM AST). If that forecast verifies, the BVI should not even get tropical storm force winds.

Hoping to hear some on island updates...thanks. We flew out this morning but most things seem business as usual. I saw some shutters going up and a few cancellations but nothing significant so far. On a side note, the north swell was big this morning. Lots of surfers on Cannon Point in CGB and it was building...

Is the north swell normally an issue already this time of year? I didn't think it became a regular concern until November and later. I know swells, winds, currents, etc. can happen any time but I didn't think I'd have to worry much about the north swell for my trip in mid October. the swell has been from Humberto the last few days. it will switch to swell from Jerry
