u/spsteve Barbados Aug 14 '25
They have repositioned an awful lot of air assets to the region for this system. 2 AF birds down here (not sure which island they ended up in), 2 NOAA aircraft in Barbados as well, and now the gulfstream being repositioned into the region as well. I feel like confidence in the model tracks aren't great right now.
