Area of Concern - Tomas

Tropical Storm Tomas located 100 miles southeast of Barbados at 30/03Z moving west northwest at 14 knots. Tonas is already a strong TS and additional intensification is quite likely with excellent outflow, a building anticyclone to the north and SSTs of at least 28C. The following warnings have been issued for the Windward and southern Leeward Islands and Trinidad &Tobago:

A HURRICANE WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR...
* BARBADOS
* ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES
* ST. LUCIA
* MARTINIQUE

A TROPICAL STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR...
* TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
* GRENADA
* DOMINICA

Tomas should continue on a west northwest track well into next week and has a marginal chance of becoming a major hurricane by mid week that could pose an eventual threat to Jamaica, Haiti and eastern Cuba. Note that increasing southwesterly windshear could dampen the intensification process in a few days.
