No threat to St Marten except some increased wave action.

One would assume not, since it is forecast to dissipate. No such thing as a sure thing though.

Tropical storm Wilfred expected to dissipate within 60 hours or less. Source NHC Sept 19 at 5pm
Increasing westerly shear and a drying airmass along the forecast
track should result in weakening within 36 to 48 hours, and global
models show the cyclone dissipating by 60 h. However, given the
small size of the system, it wouldn't be surprising if the cyclone
weakened or dissipated sooner than shown here.

Scubaman--I am not going to remove it, as it is the NHC site, but there is no reason at all for you to copy and paste the whole of a NHC bulletin. Please post a LINK.

There wasn't a link I could post from with my tablet that I took this from. Sorry. When there is a link I can use I usually do.

It is extremely easy to post a link from the NHC website.
