Jeff Masters blog Although this year is predicted to be below normal, traditionally this is about the time that the Atlantic hurricane season heats up. 96L may be one to watch.

Yes, a small tropical storm would bring some welcome rain to most anywhere in the Caribbean..

96L is up to 90% chance of forming as of the 2 AM run, so it looks like we will have depression at the very least out of this.

Praying for enough rain to help the island but please, Lord, let it end there!! Like everyone else, I hate to think of the possible potential damage of these storms and the havoc they can wreak on our beloved island, not to mention what they can do to the long awaited plans of so many vacationers. Let's hope it's only a day or two of much needed rain but only gentle accompanying tradewind breezes. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Yes, it worked. Yikes!!!
StormCarib is predicting the closest point of approach at approximately 300 miles from SXM, but that is forecast for next Tuesday, which is a long ways away from now.

Barbara I hope you're correct. I finally get a storm named after me(not sure if that's an honor or not, LOL), and it's going to the islands a week before me. Something wrong with this picture. But as others have said, maybe it will drop a lot of needed rain and then just fizzle out. Danny (sumbeach)

The latest advisory has it dropping below hurricane strength before reaching the islands. I do hope that maybe this storm might be the impetus of a decent amount of rain (and nothing else..)
