IF WILFRED SURVIVES BEYOND TUESDAY, ALL MODELS HAVE IT STEERING CLEAR OF THE ISLANDS. HENCE, BASED ON THE REASONABLE WORST-CASE SCENARIO, THE CYCLONE POSES NO THREAT TO MONTSERRAT.

RESIDENTS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE ATLANTIC AND STAY PREPARED. YOU CAN SEE THE FULL STATEMENT BELOW FROM THE ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES ON TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILFRED:

A high surf advisory means that dangerous surfs of 2 to 3 metres or 6 to 10 feet will affect some coastlines in the advisory area, producing hazardous conditions. Beachgoers should be extremely cautious; bathe only where lifeguards are present or the sheltered, less affected beaches, mainly to the west.

Three (3) Atlantic named storms were formed today Friday, September 18, 2020 – Wilfred, Alpha and Beta. The only other time on record that the Atlantic had 3 named storm formations on the same calendar day was August 15, 1893. So far, this hurricane season, there have been 23 named storms. First came Tropical Storm Wilfred in the Atlantic around 11 am, then Subtropical Storm Alpha near Portugal at 12:30 pm. Tropical Storm Beta, in the Gulf of Mexico, broke the record around 5 pm. Beta could become a hurricane while moving slowly over the Gulf of Mexico during the next few days, according to the National Hurricane Center.
