Always good to be aware of potential storms. All the long range models don’t show any of these systems to be of any significance in St Maarten.

Since I'm on island for another 11 days, I'm hoping this amounts to nothing.

You hate to see that if you are on the island, but good for the grounds!!!

We have a lemon… if it turns into a cherry it will need monitoring.

So far, TD 6 looks like it may bring some wind and rain to SXM, but the others don't look like much of a threat so far. Pretty unusual to see five systems out there!!

Thank goodness, Gert is falling apart already. What a wild situation right now, three named storms!

Rain came from Franklin but the only threat to SXM is Gert.

From the 11 o'clock advisory from the NHC--
"Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Slow weakening is forecast for the next day or so. Gert could
become a remnant low or dissipate at any time."

Gert is still a threat to SXM
