You should be OK Chuck, we are looking at up to 10 days before it gets close!!

We leave from NYC on Sunday and will be at San Juan, St. Thomas, and Tortolla on Wed, Thur, and Fri of next week. The way Jeff Masters tells it and the models he shows, it will still be right near Peurto Rico by then. It is only moving at about 10 mph!

Yes and you should get to all those ports, depending on where it is, north or south of the islands, they could reverse ports, or go over or under it and follow it in, I have done that before!!

We are hoping for maybe a Key West and then Bahamas and then Bermuda itinerary!

The models - on something that is not even a TD yet - are not something to take too seriously.
Because it has no defined center, there is not an accurate point (lat/long) for them to be initialized on. The models all ASSUME a closed center and work from that assumption, even when there isn't one.

For The North Atlantic...caribbean Sea And The Gulf Of Mexico...

Showers And Thunderstorms Have Become A Little More Concentrated In
Association With The Broad Area Of Low Pressure Located About 1200
Miles East Of The Windward Islands. Conditions Appear Favorable For
This System To Develop Into A Tropical Depression Within The Next
Day Or So As It Moves West-northwestward At 5 To 10 Mph.

Shower And Thunderstorm Activity Associated With A Broad Low
Pressure Area Located Over The Northwestern Gulf Of Mexico Has
Diminished This Evening. However...environmental Conditions Appear
Conducive For Some Development Of This System As It Drifts Slowly
West-northwestward Over The Next Day Or Two.

Elsewhere...tropical Cyclone Formation Is Not Expected During The
Next 48 Hours.
