Nice to see the MoE only had jurisdiction in Trinidad.

Schools in Tobago will remain closed tomorrow, Monday, until further notice as the island braces for Hurricane Beryl.

Non-essential workers too have been advised by the island’s Chief Secretary Farley Augustine to stay at home as Tobago is currently under a State of Emergency.

4:00 PM - Convergence ahead of Hurricane #Beryl led to isolated thunderstorms developing north of Trinidad, moving onshore currently, seen at Blanchisseuse, North Trinidad.
Conditions to deteriorate across Tobago after 6 PM, and across Trinidad mainly after midnight.

So why Trinidad under a watch and not warning? Watch is 48 hrs notice but warning is 36hr or less. D storm is less than 12 hrs away.

Tropical Storm Watch Now At Orange Level For Trinidad
JUNE 30, 2024
4 MINUTE READ


As Hurricane Beryl continues to near the Windward Islands, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago has placed Trinidad under a Tropical Storm Watch, while Tobago remains under a Hurricane Warning. However, this watch has now been upgraded from Yellow Level to Orange Level, as the certainty of impacts increased from possible to likely.

For Trinidad, this means that tropical storm conditions, including sustained winds and gusts of 63-118 KM/H, are possible within the watch area in the next 15 hours.

What you need to know
— Rainfall: Through Thursday morning, across Trinidad, rainfall accumulations between 25 and 50 millimeters are likely, while across Tobago, accumulations between 25 and 75 millimeters are likely, with isolated totals favoring the northern half of Trinidad and Tobago exceeding 150 millimeters, particularly where feeder band activity develops.

— Hazards For Trinidad: A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm-force winds (63-118 km/h) are possible within 15 hours. Several hazards are forecast. In heavy showers/thunderstorms, there is the risk of sustained winds exceeding 63 KM/H. Locally intense rainfall is likely to produce street/flash flooding with frequent lightning in intense thunderstorm activity.

Landslides are possible in elevated areas, particularly in northern Trinidad. Funnel cloud activity is possible on Monday afternoon across Trinidad and hazardous seas.

— Marine: Hazardous conditions are possible Sunday through Tuesday in the Gulf of Paria. From 6:00 PM this evening, northern and eastern open waters are forecast to see rough seas through Tuesday morning, with waves as high as 5.0 meters, mainly in open waters north of Trinidad and Tobago.

wouldn't it be prudent to cut non-essentials tomorrow to ease up traffic etc? is month end too

[AbstractPoetic]

Level red for Tobago now

RED and ready?

But seriously, this is going to have devastating effects. Not even THA can rely on the TT government to bail them out. International resources will be needed.

Wind is starting to pick up a bit.
