 For Saturday Oct. 30, 2010

Our skies will be partly cloudy with rain. This rain is due to a cold front which 

is on a line from the Florida Straits to the Bay of Campeche. It is forecast to 

stall and dissipate later today. Another cold front is forecast to move off the 

Gulf coast on Tuesday. Expect this weather pattern to hold through the 

weekend and most of next week. Winds will be NE to E at 10 to 15 mph. 

Waves will be 1 to 4 feet in height. 

Elsewhere in the tropics, TS Shary is now a hurricane out in the Atlantic Ocean. 

This system is not a threat to us.

The strong tropical wave mentioned in yesterday’s forecast is now TS Tomas. 

It will become a hurricane later today. At 5am EDT it was located about 1800 

miles E by S (1010) of Roatan. The maximum sustained winds were 70mph. 

Minimum central pressure was 994 mb. It is moving WNW at 15 mph.

This morning’s 5 day forecast track has it heading directly for Jamaica. 

The consensus of the computer models is that it will begin a turn to the NE 

before it reaches Jamaica. However, remember 5 day forecasts can 200 to 

300 miles in error and Jamaica is less than 700 miles to the E by N (780) 

of Roatan.

This is a very large and dangerous storm system. Therefore, all interests in the 

Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras should monitor Tomas’ track 

because it is still highly uncertain when, where and if the storm will turn to the NE.

I will post an update with graphics later today.

Have a nice day! 

The air temperatures will be in the high 70s (F) to the low 80s or 24 to 25 (C).
