Re: Tropical Storm Bertha forms from Invest 93L; Watches and warnings issued

It takes a lot of effort I imagine to coordinate all those watches and warnings with all those different countries. My bet, they will add a special note later (I forget, some kind of update statement), like they have done in the past, saying some watch and warning has been issued. (or simply wait until the immediate advisory if coming around shortly)

"A TROPICAL STORM WARNING COULD BE REQUIRED FOR MARTINIQUE FRIDAY
MORNING."

Might just mean no one answered the phone, lol.
Or, maybe they are actually holding off because they don't think it looks too significant, but countries always seem to go along with what the NHC says. (The NHC does handle the advisories officially, designated by the WMO, even though individual countries do the watches and warnings.) They might not have simply been able to get the decision done by the time the advisory was put out, like around three minutes before 11pm. They may have been waiting for them.
