 At 11:00 a.m today The Barbados Meteorological Services advised that Tropical Storm Karen had progressed to near: .12.5N 61.7W or ABOUT 160 Miles/165 KM SW OF BARBADOS.

The BMS also said that East-southeasterly to southerly swells of 2.5 to 3.0m (8 to 10ft) are likely to affect the marine area. Thus, a High-Surf Advisory and Small-Craft Warning also remains in until 6:00 a.m Monday 23rd September, 2019. A High-Surf Advisory is issued when breaking wave action poses a threat to life and property within the surf zone. A Small-Craft Warning means in this case, that wind-speeds of 25 to 30 kt (45 to 55km/h) and /or seas greater than 3m (10ft) will be affecting the marine area.
