Tropical Storm Ida has formed in the Caribbean Sea. The system was located about 130 miles SE of Grand Cayman moving NW at 14 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. Steady strengthening is forecast during the next few days. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the Cayman Islands, Cuban provinces of Matanzas, Mayabeque, Havana, Artemisa, Pinar del Rio, and the Isle of Youth.

The other two Tropical Disturbances in the Tropical Atlantic being monitored both have a 70% chance of Tropical cyclone formation over the next 5 days, respectively. At this time, none of the Tropical Disturbances appear to be a threat to Montserrat.

Residents, visitors, and in particularly, the vulnerable are urged to be informed, be prepared and remain vigilant as we’re in the peak of the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
