UPDATE (2pm): Tropical Storm Gonzalo has been downgraded to a Depression after passing over T&T and the Met Office has discontinued the Adverse Weather Alert for Trinidad and the Tropical Storm Warning for Tobago.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami indicated last night that Tropical Storm Gonzalo has moved significantly Southward from its original forecast track. This means Trinidad and Tobago will experience a more direct impact than previously thought, which has prompted the Met Office to upgrade the Adverse Weather Alert for Trinidad as well as the previous Tropical Storm Watch for Tobago.
The NHC noted last night, “The track guidance continues to trend Southward and the NHC track forecast has again been shifted in that direction.”
At 5am this morning (Saturday 25th July 2020), the NHC notes the center of Tropical Storm Gonzalo was located near Latitude 10.1 North, Longitude 58.7 West. Gonzalo is moving toward the West near 18 Mph (30 Km/h). A general westward to west-northwestward motion is expected for the next couple of days. On the forecast track, Gonzalo will move across the Southern Windward islands this afternoon or evening and over the Southeastern Caribbean Sea on Sunday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 Mph (65 Km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected before Gonzalo reaches the Southern Windward islands later today. Weakening is expected after Gonzalo moves over the Southeastern Caribbean Sea, and the system is forecast to dissipate by Sunday night or Monday. Tropical-Storm-force winds extend outward up to 25 Miles (35 Km) from the center. Gonzalo is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 1 to 3 inches (25 to 76mm), with isolated maximum amounts of 5 inches (127mm) in Barbados, the Windward Islands and Trinidad and Tobago through Sunday night. Gonzalo is also expected to produce total rain accumulations of 1 to 2 inches (25 to 51mm) in Northeastern Venezuela through Monday.
