Katia is forecast to continue strengthening and may become a hurricane later today. This system is about 4 days away from the local region, and models are showing that the center of Katia will pass just to the North of the SSS Islands. We will continue to monitor its progress as it gets closer to us. Special Weather A moderate earthquake occurred near Jamaica this morning at around 2:30am (local time) with a magnitude of 4.4 on the Richter Scale.

Regardless of speed, Katia is forecast to continue strengthening and may become a hurricane by late Wednesday/early Thursday. This system is still about 5 days away from the local region, and we will continue to monitor its progress and path to determine if it will affect the SSS (and surrounding) Islands. Special Weather None.
