IIRC that's a strong Cat. 3 borderline weak Cat. 4 The two "fantasyland" wind speed models that are even looking at this storm are showing it developing into at least a strong category 2 hurricane within 108 hours. This could be a really nice storm...tropical season is coming in with a bang, I guess?
. A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE EASTERN CARIBBEANSEA IS ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG TROPICAL WAVE THAT IS MOVINGWESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ASURFACE CIRCULATION...THIS SYSTEM IS SHOWING SOME SIGNS OFORGANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR CONDUCIVE FORGRADUAL DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS WAVECOULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS OVER PORTIONSOF NORTHERN VENEZUELA...THE NETHERLANDS ANTILLES...PUERTORICO...THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC...AND HAITI OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO. THERE IS A MEDIUM CHANCE...30 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING ATROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

Things getting busy!
It's been a rather quiet July to this point. El Niņo is officially over according to the recent data from the Climate Prediction Center, so it seems that the Atlantic should get a boost on favorable conditions as this season progresses.
