Hurricane Matthew Begins To Turn
Completed Counterclockwise Loop
Warnings Up For Jamaica
Hurricane Matthew did a counterclockwise loop this afternoon and you can follow it along as long as the eye remains visible on the water vapor loop. It may be getting ready to move northwestward toward Jamaica and Haiti. Also reconnaissance reports show that pressures have fallen from 946 mb to 940 mb in the last few hours. We will see if this is the beginning of another round of strengthening or just a normal fluctuation.
