Check your flights if you are traveling today. I checked a few AA flights and they are either delayed or cancelled. Delta still appears to be a go but that could easily change.

Probably wind in SXM but I am not sure as they do not give that information, at least not that I could find.

I think If you look at the winds map it shifted so landings would have a very strong cross or tailwind which does work for many aircraft landing SXM. Over the lagoon not really possible . Right not it looks like a 20mph crosswind.

As of now, Delta is in the air, scheduled to land in about an hour. AA cancelled all three of their flights today. That doesn't make sense. I'm sure there are an awful lot of unhappy AA customers today.

Looks like AA is the only major airline that cancelled flights (4) .....WinAir cancelled a bunch but that's it....Strange
Edit: I should add that two of the AA flights are listed as "delayed".....yup, delayed until Thursday

Yeah, sorry, I meant all the flights from Miami. There was one from Charlotte too. And yes, delayed for 24 hours. That's some kind of a delay.

It seems the winds are all through the Caribbean, guessing Florida as well. We are in Eleuthera and the winds have been steady between 22 and 25mph with gust above that. Glass Window Bridge is closed because waves are crashing over it, very rough seas. We hear it is supposed to calm down tonight into tomorrow, hoping it does.
I prefer the Isle seat

Todd--that sounds darn chilly, in the Bahamas in February, with that kind of wind. It is kind of gusty here in Central Florida, but nothing too extreme.

Not exactly beach weather with the wind, but the pool area is protected a bit. Mostly been in the mid 70's in the day and mid to upper 60's at night. Very comfortable, beats the low 40's at home and should get better starting Thursday. Like SXM, you can find enjoyment on these types of days, do things you normally would not do.

Todd-I guess not so bad compared to home, but I did tell you it might not be that warm there. Glad you're making the best of it.

Eleuthrra has been one of our must-do islands for years but based on our only trip to Sr. John and our only trip to the Bahamas I’d surely not go this time of year. StJ was a Dec to.Jan trip and it was cool. Bahamas wasn’t cool but chilly in the evenings and we’re spoiled by SXM and her usually warm weather and waters. Carry on, Todd and MJ. We’ll continue to enjoy it vicariously through your comments and photos. 😊😊
Respectfully,

Yes, Delta is a 757 while the AA planes are a smaller Airbus.

George--I was hoping you would weigh in on this topic. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I guess you are saying that the 757 is a better plane for these conditions than the AA Airbus?

George-thanks for that info. Airliners are a lot more complicated than what we mere passengers know.
