It says the centre of Paloma will pass near the Cayman Islands later today or early tomorrow if it continues on the forecast track.
The island is expected to experience scattered showers and thunderstorms especially in central and western parishes.

My prayer is that all will be spared any hardship, distruction or loss of life in the beautiful country of Jamaica. I will be returning once again to Mobay for my 52nd birthday in December. Looking forward to seeing all my friends at Sunset Beach Resort and Spa and making new found friends around the island of Mobay and the countryside as well. God Bless Jamaica and her beautiful people.
