Pilots planning a trip to the Bahamas and/or Caribbean should closely monitor the progress of TS Matthew as it develops along the Leeward Islands. Current projections predict an increase in intensity to Hurricane strength and a turn to the north which could affect the ABC Islands, Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, Cayman Islands and The Bahamas.

TS Matthew continues to gain strength and is forecast to become a hurricane within 24 hours. The current projected path is slightly east of the one predicted yesterday and could now also affect the Dominican Republic as well as the other countries listed above.

Pilots planning a trip to these countries in the coming days should pay special attention to the development of this storm.
