WEATHER UPDATE: Tropical Storm Kirk on track to reach Lesser Antilles by Thursday

At 5:00 pm, Tropical Storm Kirk was located near latitude 9.5N and longitude 32.3W, over the Eastern Atlantic. Some strengthening is forecast during the next day or two. The system is then expected to begin weakening by the middle of the week. Kirk is projected to approach the Lesser Antilles by Thursday. A trough system is expected to maintain some cloudiness with a few scattered showers and a chance of isolated thunderstorms across the Lesser Antilles tonight.

Tropical Depression No. 11 has degenerated into a trough. An increase in cloudiness and shower activity is anticipated across the area by tomorrow, as the remnants of the Depression draws nearer to island chain.

Thereafter, a tropical wave is expected to generate shower and thunderstorm activity across the area by Tuesday.

Residents are advised to keep informed on these systems.

At 11am, Subtropical storm Leslie formed in the North Atlantic and poses no threat to Dominica.

Moderate seas are expected during the next 24 hours with waves peaking up to 5.0ft.

    I afraid for Dominica you know because not only are we in the path of hurricanes but most importantly we have become an evil nation that that supports the ungodly deeds of Skerrit’. No doubt before Skerrit became PM, Charles Savarin, the person behind the 48 day stike, which caused the fall of the Patrick John Labor government, was no doubt the most hated and least trusted Dominica. In fact it was because of the eveil of Charles Savarin hurricane David came after us and punished us. But because Skerrit came and sold himself to do evil, he had to get an evil president that would help him push the evil bottoms. So he made the evil Charles Savarin his President in 2013 and since then we we’re punished by Erika in 2015 and two years later in 2017 Maria destroyed us. In other words the evil Charles Savarin has brought us David, Erika and Maria. I am afraid because as long as these two evil men are at the helm of our leadership more storms will come after us because their ways are evil
