Tropical Storm Fiona

Looks like invest 96L will pass below the BVI's with tropical winds in the low range of tropical storms. So maybe some rain and some wind.

The Nat Hurricane Center graph looks like it may go right over us..Nice to get some cistern topping rain..

eyes out East

Current guidance shows a weak TS with the center staying just to the south of the VIs. Should provide some meaningful rainfall. Hope it stays this way.

Looks like it will be Fiona soon. Tropical Tidbits really is the best site for updates.

My hurricane tracking map has it below St Croix

Good timing. They finished recasting our dock Saturday.

the best site for updates **** plenty of info

Yeah Mike’s Weather Page has all the consolidated info but I trust Dr. Levi (Tropical Tidbits), to analyze the data and provide the info.

Dan Boyd has a great St John VI Weather group on Facebook. He provides great updates and local conditions. He pulls from a variety of sources and does a great job breaking things down for the islands.

Looks like at 50 MPH winds, 3-6 inches rain and 12 ft seas. Still showing passing south of St Croix, but BVI will get northwest quadrant which will have most of the storm.

As of 11 AM from the NHC, no watches or warnings for the BVI YET, but according to Storm Carib, the closest point of approach for Tortola is 71 miles, at 7:48 PM on Saturday.

Stay safe out there, people!

USCG St. Thomas will close the VI seaports at 8 PM Friday. Ferry to St Croix to be closed 9/16 - 9 /
21.

Going to be a tough weekend for travelers.

Latest track shows the center of the storm to be 123 miles from my villa on Virgin Gorda. Becoming less of a storm and just some rain. Seas could still be a problem.

Latest from Storm Carib has the closest point of approach as 119 miles away, at 6:48 PM Saturday. Hopefully just a rain event, as Thorsten says.

Stay safe everyone!

How's everyone doing over there?

It is very wet here on Tortola today. Lots of rain. The wind is gusting up near 40mph. No damage has been reported.

OK, thanks. Hopefully everyone there knows to stay safe and stay off the roads!

Current forecast for EIS is gusts up to 58 MPH which is a bit more than earlier numbers but should not cause much damage.

Hopefully so. I would be concerned about mudslides on the road..

Fiona has been upgraded to a hurricane, headed towards Puerto Rico.

All good here so far on Virgin Gorda! I still have power which is nothing short of amazing.

looks ok from CGB cam! https://www.resortcams.com/webcams/cane-garden-bay/ I did just read all of PR is out of power now

Forecast was spot on.

The dinghy dock looks just as rickety as I remember.

If you are referring to the CGB dock, I was there earlier this summer and it was in pretty good shape, relatively speaking.

If you dont fall through it..its in good shape!

So nothing much has changed. Sad that this has been the case since I first visited there in 2001.

Haha, Mal. It sounds like some of the slats have broken over the summer. When I was there in May, I was shocked that there was not a single broken or missing slat. Far from safe, but def much better shape than usual.

The blue boards are pre-Irma boards from Coconut Breeze Villas. They aren't going anywhere any time soon!
