THERE’S STILL A RELATIVELY HIGH UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE FORECAST TRACK OF TROPICAL STORM TEDDY; HOWEVER, ALL THE MODELS SURVEYED, EXCEPT FOR A FEW, CONTINUE TO FORECAST THE CENTRE OF TEDDY TO PASS WELL AWAY FROM THE CARIBBEAN. HENCE, BASED ON THE REASONABLE WORST-CASE SCENARIO, THE CYCLONE POSES LITTLE TO NO WIND THREAT TO MONTSERRAT.

OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS, THERE’S BEEN A FURTHER SLIGHT SHIFT OF THE TRACK, OF THE STORM, TOWARD THE ISLANDS; HOWEVER, IT IS STILL FORECAST TO PASS SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES AWAY FROM THE AREA. EVEN FROM A REASONABLE WORST-CASE SCENARIO, THE DEVELOPING CYCLONE SHOULD PASS A VERY SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE ISLANDS. NOTWITHSTANDING, ANY PERSISTENT WESTWARD TRACK BEYOND TUESDAY WILL RESULT IN AN ALERT BEING ISSUED FOR MONTSERRAT.
