Re: Tropical Depression 16 Forms in West Caribbean, Tropical Storm Omar in East Caribbean

HDOB's shows SFMR winds of 55 to 60 mph in Omar. Also, the Recon flight is just getting into TD16, as HDOB's show a drop in cruising altitude of the aircraft. Expect to see Hurricane Watches issued for some parts of the NE Caribbean shortly if the trend continues with Omar. Somewhat surprised that no watches or warnings have been issued for the ABC islands too!
