All the models are spinning this up into a hurricane.
Historically based on time of year and formation region, there's a correlation between strength (cat4/5) and how close it gets to land (USVI/BVI/Leeward Islands/Puerto Rico/Florida). If it curves it may fizzle, if it hits land it may be a major hurricane.
Forecast right now suggests a curving path away from most land, but that is extrapolating by eyeball the 5-day prediction centers into a ~10-day prediction. But, a path towards the Leeward Islands is still well within the prediction cone.
And I have no idea who thought this name was a good idea to name a storm...
