Re: Watching Katia and an Area in the Northwestern Caribbean

At the present time Katia is Not forecast to pass close to the Virgin Isles or the Lesser Antilles.
Forecasts change, as we all know. Katia appears to be taking the wnw route that will take her out to sea.
The 06Z GFS and other models have the storm passing close to Maine and Nova Scotia, later next week. But that is a long range forecast and subject to change greatly.

Katia is expected to be upgraded to a Category 1 Hurricane later today. Increasing the odds of missing the Lesser Antilles and Virgin Isles.

Please consult your local Weather Service and NHC Advisories on Katia. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/sju/
