The new weather update has Jamaica under a Tropical Storm Watch. The current track has it slightly further from Jamaica and maintaining tropical storm status so this will produce some wind and rains, but nothing serious.
The main spaghetti models are pretty much overlapping, so this track seems to be the consensus for the future. Apparently, the chance of an early northern move is less likely now, so the storm will be well out at sea. We are expecting rough seas, the cliff properties on the West End will probably take some high waves.
The Jamaica Meteorological Service has stated that the rains and winds should start Saturday afternoon and continue until sometime Monday. We will be in the outer bands of the storm so the rain and wind will be on and off for probably the entire weekend.
We will have another update in the morning!
