AM AST...0900 UTC...INFORMATION\r\n----------------------------------------------\r\nLOCATION...18.5N 62.3W\r\nABOUT 70 MI...115 KM NNW OF BARBUDA\r\nABOUT 55 MI...90 KM ENE OF ANGUILLA\r\nMAXIMUM

WARNINGS\r\n--------------------\r\nCHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:\r\n\r\nThe government of the Netherlands has discontinued the Tropical\r\nStorm Warning for Saba and St. Eustatius.\r\n\r\nSUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:\r\n\r\nA Hurricane Warning is in effect for...\r\n* Barbuda and Anguilla\r\n* St. Maarten\r\n* St. Martin and St. Barthelemy\r\n\r\nA Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected\r\nsomewhere within the warning area, in this case over the next few\r\nhours.\r\n\r\nFor storm information specific to your area, please monitor\r\nproducts issued by your national meteorological service.\r\n\r\n\r\nDISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK\r\n----------------------\r\nAt 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Tammy was located \r\nnear latitude 18.5 North, longitude 62.3 West. Tammy is moving \r\ntoward the north-northwest near 10 mph (17 km\/h) and this general \r\nmotion is expected through today, followed by a turn toward the \r\nnorth or north-northeast on Monday.  On the forecast track, the \r\ncenter of Tammy will move further away from the northernmost Leeward \r\nIslands later today.\r\n\r\nMaximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km\/h) with higher \r\ngusts. Some strengthening is possible today followed by fluctuations \r\nin strength thereafter.\r\n\r\nHurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the\r\ncenter and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles\r\n(220 km).\r\n\r\nThe estimated minimum central pressure is 992 mb (29.30 inches).\r\n\r\n\r\nHAZARDS AFFECTING LAND\r\n----------------------\r\nKey messages for Tammy can be found in the Tropical Cyclone\r\nDiscussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC\r\nand on the web at hurricanes.gov\/text\/MIATCDAT5.shtml\r\n\r\nWIND:  Hurricane conditions are expected over portions of the\r\nnorthernmost Leeward Islands for the next few hours.\r\n\r\nRAINFALL: Tammy is expected to produce the following storm total\r\nrainfall:\r\n\r\nLeeward Islands: 4 to 8 inches with storm total maximum amounts of\r\n12 inches\r\n\r\nMartinique and Dominica: An additional 2 to 4 inches, with storm\r\ntotal maximum of 6 inches\r\n\r\nBritish and U.S. Virgin Islands into eastern Puerto Rico: 1 to 2\r\ninches with maximum storm total amounts of 4 inches\r\n\r\nThese rains may produce isolated flash and urban flooding, along\r\nwith isolated mudslides in areas of higher terrain.\r\n\r\nSTORM SURGE:  Storm surge could raise water levels by as much as 1\r\nto 3 feet above normal tide levels near where the center of Tammy\r\nmoves across the Leeward Islands.  Near the coast, the surge will\r\nbe accompanied by large and dangerous waves.\r\n\r\nSURF:  Swells generated by Tammy will continue to affect portions of\r\nthe Lesser Antilles during the next few days.  These swells are\r\nlikely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.\r\nPlease consult products from your local weather office.\r\n\r\n\r\nNEXT ADVISORY\r\n-------------\r\nNext intermediate advisory at 800 AM AST.\r\nNext complete advisory at 1100 AM AST.\r\n\r\n$$\r\nForecaster Papin\r\n<\/pre>\n<div id=\"antig-681720817\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REPORT FROM A RESIDENT IN BARBUDA Overnight I\u2019m in the group and Barbuda is getting a whipping with gusty winds and heaven rainfall and lighting up like a Christmas tree.
