Question
My family is traveling to the Cayman's from the US. Are trip is scheduled from Aug.4 - Aug.12. We are trying to decide if we should cancel the trip and plan for another date due to tropical storm chris and the chance for high amounts of rain. What do you think the weather will be like and what do you suggest we do? Your response would be very helpful!

Thanks,

Ryan

Answer
Ryan,
"Chris" will pass by north of the Cayman Islands this weekend. It will be a minimal storm at that time, and could just be a tropical depression. It will produce showers in the vicinity of the Cayman Islands this weekend, but there will not be any steady, heavy, and prolonged rain. By Sunday night and Monday, the storm will be heading through the Florida straits and into the Gulf of Mexico, and will no longer be a factor in the weather down there.
Hopefully, this helped out.

Sincerely,
