SPECIAL FEATURE:
- At 11:00 AM, Hurricane Kirk was located approximately 1325 miles east of St. Maarten. Kirk is expected to become a major hurricane by Thursday. However, it is not predicted to pose a direct threat to St. Maarten.
- A tropical wave (i.e. invest 91L) over the eastern tropical Atlantic has a high (90%) chance of formation over the next 2 to 7 days. A tropical depression is expected to form within 24 hours.
The Meteorological Department of St. Maarten will continue to monitor the progress of these systems and update the public accordingly.
OUTLOOK through Friday midday: Fair to partly cloudy, warm & humid with brief isolated showers.
