Tropical Storm Tomas located 100 miles southeast of Barbados at 30/03Z moving west northwest at 14 knots. Tonas is already a strong TS and additional intensification is quite likely with excellent outflow, a building anticyclone to the north and SSTs of at least 28C. The following warnings have been issued for the Windward and southern Leeward Islands and Trinidad &Tobago:
A HURRICANE WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR... * BARBADOS * ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES * ST. LUCIA * MARTINIQUE
A TROPICAL STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR... * TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO * GRENADA * DOMINICA
Tomas should continue on a west northwest track well into next week and has a marginal chance of becoming a major hurricane by mid week that could pose an eventual threat to Jamaica, Haiti and eastern Cuba. Note that increasing southwesterly windshear could dampen the intensification process in a few days. ED
