Barbados is going to see a hurricane without any hurricane watches or warnings issued. Barbados isn't even in the eye wall.
 
Live News with a couple reporters on the ground in Barbados. Barbados Meteorological Official just said that the Island government has issued a Hurricane Warning due to observations of 70-80 MPH sustained winds.

...ELSA STRENGTHENS TO A HURRICANE...

Surface observations from Barbados indicate that Elsa's maximum
sustained winds have increased to near 75 mph, and the cyclone
is now a hurricane. A special advisory will be issued within the
hour in place of the normal intermediate advisory.
 
To me, it's already looking more and more like the GFS/hurricane models will be right here.
Yeah I’m not surprised at all .. Gfs still hasn’t backed down either .. it’s time for the euro to play catch up per usual in the tropical season. Euro may be good overall but it has nothing on on the American models when it comes to tropical weather
 
Now… is the satellite presentation perfect? Nope .. easily seeing dry air problems and of course it’s moving at break neck speed so it’s bound to be sloppy but it’s got good outflow channels and has good thunderstorm intensity all around helping support the core through the tough journey … another case of rapid intensification
 
Even their special just out has zero strengthening. It's still a TS near the US
Yeah basically showing it has peaked..... ok, seems odd for an agency that has been naming any cluster of precip with rotation a TC lately haha
