    I hope the Hurricane Center forecast is wrong, new tropical depression

    Weathermen are often wrong, I hope this forecast for a hurricane just south of Negril on Monday is wrong but does not look good right now.

    This is a 5 day forecast but hopefully the wind sheer across the Caribbean rips the storm apart!!

    Just bad timing - arriving on the heels of a holiday weekend??? I hope the forecast is wrong too.

    right now the winds are not favorable for development in the area of Jamaica. Of course a lot can change in 5 days, but the sheer is pretty strong.

    Plus, the Cone of death is centered over Jamaica 5 days out. Rarely will a storm hit the center of the cone this far out.

    The "CONE OF DEATH"?? What?? What is this?!

    This August will be my first time traveling to Jamaica during Hurricane season... I know I'm going to be checking the National Hurricane Center website every day leading up to departure and biting my nails.

    Remember to buy trip insurance! If you don't get it before the storm is officially named, then cancellation coverage does not apply!

    The cone of death is the forecast cone in the picture in the first post. It is a matrix of all of the possible tracks according tot he forecast model. It means the the Eye of the storm could be in any part of that cone. The cone gets wider as you go further out due to the uncertainty of the forecast.

    The eye rarely passes at the center of a cone that is 5 days out. I seriously doubt this will be anything significant from Jamaica.

    This is coming from 5 years of living in Miami. Been through many Hurricane seasons.
