Issued by the Barbados Meteorological Services at 6:00 pm Thursday 7th September, 2017A Small Craft Warning and High Surf Advisory for St.Vincent and the Grenadines is in effect from 6:00 p.m today, Thursday 7th September, 2017 through to 12:00 p.m Saturday 9th September, 2017. A Small-Craft Warning means in this case that seas equal to or greater than 3m (10ft) will be affecting the marine area. A High-Surf Advisory is issued when breaking wave action poses or is expected to pose a threat to life and property within the surf zone. At 5:00 p.m, Hurricane “Jose” was centered near 15.5°N, 52.4°W or about 590 MI...955 KM east of the Lesser Antilles. Jose was moving towards the west- northwest at about 18 mph... 30 km/h with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph... 195 km/h. This makes Jose a Category 2 system on the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale and further strengthening is forecast. Although “Jose” is not expected to directly impact St.Vincent and the Grenadines, it is forecast to generate above normal easterly to east-northeasterly swells of 3.0 to 4.0m (10 – 13 feet) mainly along eastern and northern coastlines of St. Vincent and the Grenadines starting early tomorrow. This activity is expected to persist into Saturday and may become even more adverse at times of high tide. Large waves and dangerous rip-currents can be expected mainly along eastern and northern coastlines of St. Vincent and the Grenadines; this will result in unsafe conditions for small-craft operators. Sea-bathers and other users of the sea are also advised to stay out of the water. As a consequence, a HIGH-SURF ADVISORY and SMALL-CRAFT WARNING is in effect for St. Vincent andthe Grenadines from 6:00 p.m today, Thursday 7th September through 12:00 noon Saturday 9th September, 2017.
