waterdave Posted August 31, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I need an seasoned cruise person to look at the trajectory and timeline of tropical storm Katia. The allure is supposed to be on eastern itinerary for this Sundays 7 day cruise (nassau, st thomas, st maarten). What are the chances they will change this to a western cruise to keep a safe distance from a potential storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early projections has the storm tracking north towards Bermuda, subject to change of course. If that's the case you should be fine provided it makes the turn to the north in time. It's a crap shoot plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequim88 Posted August 31, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2011 For Katia I would be a lot more concerend if I was on a Bermuda itinerary this Saturday. Upper air pattern should steer that one north and then keep it well off the coast but Bermuda. Check: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/083514.shtml?hwind120#contents and http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/083514.shtml?basin#contents Potential TS Lee might get interesting next week for NOLA and Galveston routes.

Thanks all, Just got this map from the above website- looks like even though its not projected to hit the islands, it will right there affecting the seas...

Rancher Dave Posted September 1, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I think the timing of H-Katia is such they could very easily go West if needed...since the likely storm in the GOM will hopefully come get caught up here bringing loads of soaking rain.
