Information Statement on Tropical Storm Gonzalo
The St. Kitts Met Office in collaboration with the Antigua Met Services are
monitoring a newly formed Tropical Storm Gonzalo, which is just about halfway between the continent of Africa and the Caribbean Island chain. On its current trajectory, it is expected to pass well South of St. Kitts & Nevis. However, due to the fact weather can be dynamic in nature, any northern deviation from the current trajectory can bring it closer to St. Kitts & Nevis and the Northern Leeward Islands. At this moment, we are uncertain of the exact magnitude of any potential impacts from the system as it is expected to continue developing while moving towards the Island chain. We at the St. Kitts Met Office will continue to closely monitor Tropical Storm Gonzalo and provide timely updates.
Residents should monitor this developing system closely and have their
hurricane plans completed, as the peak months of the hurricane season draw near
