Hurricane warnings are flying in the British Virgin Islands as strengthening Tropical Storm Gonzalo marches west-northwest at 10 mph though the northernmost Lesser Antilles Islands. The storm passed over Antigua Island between 10 am - 11 am AST on Monday, and sustained winds at Antigua hit 45 mph at 7 am AST before the station stopped reporting. NHC is still able to get wind information from the island, and the island reported a sustained wind of 67 mph gusting to 88 mph late Monday morning. Winds at nearby Barbuda were sustained at 43 mph gusting to 61 mph at 1 pm AST. Satellite loops showed on Monday morning that Gonzalo was growing increasingly well-organized, with more low-level spiral bands and heavy thunderstorm activity. A Central Dense Overcast (CDO) of high cirrus clouds was apparent on visible satellite imagery, the sign of an intensifying tropical storm about to reach hurricane status. Guadaloupe radar showed that Gonzalo was close to closing off an eye, which should allow for more rapid intensification of the storm by Monday evening. Water vapor satellite loops showed a good degree of dry air surrounding Gonzalo, but with wind shear a light 5 - 10 knots, this dry air was not substantially impeding development. Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) were warm, near 29°C (84°F). The 8 am Monday run of the SHIPS model predicted that conditions would remain favorable for development for the next four days, with light to moderate wind shear and SSTs near 29°C (84°F). Gonzalo should steadily intensify through the week, and has the potential to be a major Category 3 hurricane by Friday. The models are unified in showing that the storm will get caught up in a trough of low pressure and turn to the northwest on Tuesday and north by Wednesday, though our two top models, the GFS and European, are widely divergent on their prediction on how fast Gonzalo will get pulled to the north towards Bermuda. The GFS predicts that the storm will make its closest pass by the island on Friday night, while the European model delays Gonzalo's arrival until Sunday.

The trough of low pressure will pull out of the Western Caribbean on Saturday, and may leave behind an area of spin in the Western Caribbean that would potentially have the capability to develop into a strong tropical storm or hurricane, as predicted by many of the ensemble members of the 00Z Wednesday morning run of the GFS model. The European and UKMET models are not showing this solution, but I think we have to be concerned about the possibility of a potentially dangerous tropical cyclone in the Western Caribbean early next week. It's a complicated meteorological situation, and the long-term forecast is murky.

Ai dat is een beste 1 zeg. Die zou ik niet over me heen willen hebben, geen idee wat voor gevolgen dat zou hebben voor Nederland.
