Action News Jax Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh said the latest edition of Talking the Tropics With Mike that this system has a good chance to intensify before reaching the Lesser Antilles, then will continue west or W/NW across the Caribbean.

While forecast models are generally in good agreement, Buresh said the GFS model weakens this system once to the West/Northwest Caribbean while the European model takes it just about due west into Central America by the middle of next week. People living in or traveling to the Caribbean should stay up to date on this developing situation. No impact to Jacksonville or Florida.
