From now onward, the frequency & intensity of the rain will only increase. Wind will pick up to whatever maximum strength will be achieve as well. Without having studied the latest track and factoring the new turn, the estimate was that Maria would be near Sosua Thursday noon to early afternoon. If the storm speeds up or slows down the arrival time for closest approach will change. Sosua is sort of close to you so add an hour or so.

Expect conditions to get steadily worse from now on.

Have you seen the current and updated wind data records at the weather station at Punta Cana airport PUJ?

Sustained wind picked up to about 23mph and gusts to 42mph.

Over in Sosua there is a weather station at the a helipad and of course at POP. Always good to see what the official weather stations at airports record using anemometer telemetry. It is accurate because pilots need it.

I am in Punta Cana. Winds have picked up, but no where near Hurricane Force. Also looks like thunder is on the way here.

When the storm goes through Sosua it will be too far offshore to sustain major winds.
