[STORMREPORTS] Rough Weather For Jamaica

I didn't see any obviously comprehensive Jamaica weather sites offering
anything more than current conditions or forecasts, if you know of any let
me know.

There are two webcams listed on our Tropical Webcams Page:
http://www.weathermatrix.net/wxcam/tropical/
The one in Kingston is interactive.

If you know of any other webcams in Jamaica let me know.

Our Tropical Observations Page gives observations from two stations on the
island (MKJS & MKJP).

 From the National Hurricane Center:

>SATELLITE AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST THAT THE REMNANTS OF
>TROPICAL DEPRESSION TEN REMAIN A STRONG TROPICAL WAVE. HOWEVER...
>THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS BECOME MORE CONCENTRATED DURING THE
>NIGHT AND THERE ARE SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION CENTERED ABOUT 110 MILES
>SOUTH OF KINGSTON JAMAICA. WHILE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE CURRENTLY
>ONLY MARGINALLY FAVORABLE...SOME DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM IS
>POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD
>RE-FORM IN THE AREA LATER TODAY AS THE SYSTEM MOVES WEST-
>NORTHWESTWARD. HEAVY RAINS AND LOCALLY STRONG GUSTY WINDS ARE
>OCCURRING OVER SOUTHWESTERN HAITI AND THE ADJACENT WATERS...AND
>THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD SPREAD OVER JAMAICA LATER TODAY. AN AIR FORCE
>RESERVE UNIT HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS CURRENTLY ENROUTE TO
>INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM. INTERESTS IN THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN
>SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM AND BE
>PREPARED TO TAKE QUICK ACTION IF TROPICAL STORM WATCHES OR WARNINGS
>ARE ISSUED LATER TODAY.
