At this time, even at the reasonable worst-case, the Tropical cyclone poses little to no threat to Montserrat. No immediate preparations are needed; however, you should be prepared for the hurricane season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 2 PM, Tropical Disturbance AL94 was located about 2160 miles East-southeast of the Leeward Islands moving west at 15 to 20 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maximum sustained winds are near 25 mph with higher gusts. There is a 20 percent chance of formation into a tropical cyclone in 48 hours and a 60 percent chance of formation in 5 days. It could become a tropical depression during the early part of next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On its forecast track, the probable tropical cyclone is forecast to arrive in the Windward Islands around the middle of next week. At which time it could be a tropical storm or hurricane. There is still a lot of uncertainty and a lot of time for unexpected changes to take place, including the system tracking more towards the Northeast Caribbean and raising the threat level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"757\" src=\"http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-6-1024x757.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7449\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-6-1024x757.png 1024w, http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-6-300x222.png 300w, http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-6-768x567.png 768w, http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-6-1536x1135.png 1536w, http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-6-2048x1513.png 2048w, http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-6-406x300.png 406w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that no tropical cyclone alerts, watches or warnings are in effect at this time and none is anticipated based on the forecast track of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An Update Will Be Given Around 9 Am Tomorrow Saturday Or Sooner If Required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forecaster Dale Destin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue to monitor DMCA Facebook, Instagram and Twitter social media sites and our website http:\/\/dmca.gov.ms for daily weather updates, public advisories and warnings and information on the wide range of natural and man-made hazards that have the potential to impact Montserrat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That\u2019s according to a Tropical Cyclone Information Statement issued by Antigua And Barbuda Meteorological Services at 3:45 PM on Friday, June 24 2022.
