- At 11:00 AM, the center of Tropical Storm Kirk was located approximately 1590 miles east-southeast of St. Maarten. Kirk is expected to become a hurricane by tonight. However, it is not predicted to pose a direct threat to St. Maarten.
- A tropical wave over the far eastern tropical Atlantic has a high (80% to 90%) chance of formation over the next 2 to 7 days. A tropical depression is very likely to form within the next few days.
The Meteorological Department of St. Maarten will continue to monitor the progress of these systems and update the public accordingly.
OUTLOOK through Thursday midday: Fair to partly cloudy with isolated showers possible.
