SPECIAL FEATURE:

1.  SEAN STRENGTHENS BACK INTO A TROPICAL STORM

   At 11am, its center was located near 13.1N 37.2W or about 1760 miles east-southeast of St. Maarten.

Sean is moving towards the northwest at 10 mph and is expected to change little in strength over the next few days.

It currently poses no direct threat to St. Maarten.

2.  Another area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave (i.e. Invest 94L) located near the coast of Africa currently has a low chance of formation through the next 7 days.

The Meteorological Department of St. Maarten will continue to monitor the progress of these systems and update the public accordingly.

OUTLOOK through Saturday midday: Fair to partly cloudy with a brief shower possible.
