5PM EDT Update Tropical Storm Omar, through Recon flights, has been gaining strength rapidly today, and is now just shy of Hurricane Strength. It is fairly likely that Omar will intensify more before making landfall near Puerto Rico, therefore Hurricane Watches are now up for there and the Virgin Islands. The current forecast takes it very near the Virgin Islands, and it is possible for rapid intesification, those in the Virgin Islands and other northern Leeward islands will want to watch Omar closely.
Please Pay close attention to local media if you are those areas.
Original Update The tropics mid October awakening continues, with one storm, Nana, gone. Omar showing up this morning, forcing Tropical Storm watches in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, as well as another Depression, TD#16.
Omar should move northeast across Puerto Rico and bring Tropical Storm Conditions There, TD#16 is forecast to become a Tropical Storm and skirt the coast north of Honduras, eventually into the coast of Belize north of the Guatemala Border. A tropical Storm Warning exists for the north coast of Honduras.
