Tracking Post Tropical Cyclone 15

A disturbance near Central America organized on Sunday, Oct, 30, becoming Post Tropical Cyclone 15.


What You Need To Know

  • Post Tropical Storm 15 formed Sunday, Oct. 30 in the Caribbean Sea
  • It could strengthen into a tropical storm early in the week
  • Jamaica and the Grand Cayman Islands are under tropical alerts

PPTC 15 is weak, but will still bring unsettled weather in Central America. We expect it to strengthen into a tropical storm on Monday as it moves west.

The storm could bring heavy rain to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands over the next few days.

A tropical storm watch has been issued for Jamaica and Grand Cayman Islands.

Spaghetti models show PTC 15 moving toward the west toward Belize or the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico over the next few days. 

Spaghetti models or plots show a series of individual computer forecast models together on one map. They are useful to give insight into whether multiple models are in agreement on the path of the storm but they do not address the storm’s forecast intensity, winds, flooding and storm surge potential or other data. Tap here for more details on how to best use these models.
