Tomas will be affecting St. Lucia and St. Vincent with strong tropical storm to minimal hurricane force conditions for the next several hours. Other islands may experience tropical storm force winds sustained or in gusts.
We will be monitoring for reports from the Caribbean islands over the next several hours. Tomas will be largely past the islands by this evening so we will do our regular net as scheduled leaving breaks for any stations or reports from the Caribbean islands.
