HEADS UP: Weather news -- TS Gonzalo headed for Antigua & Montserrat over the next day or so

Weather Underground currently has some bad news for us here in Montserrat:



Zulu (= GMT = EC time + 4 hrs) time & location track:
Init 12/1730z 16.4n 58.4w 35 kt 40 mph
12h 13/0000z 16.4n 59.5w 35 kt 40 mph

120h 17/1200z 24.0n 68.0w 85 kt 100 mph
That looks like, right over Montserrat about 8:00 am on Monday October 13, tomorrow. Translation, a stormy night and morning. (We already had a rain band or two hit us starting this morning.)

Radio ZJB just gave a preliminary warning.
 
Not good, except -- thank God -- not a full-blown hurricane. END
