Yes, but real time radar in that area is sketchy. I do not know what kind of real time commercial weather services are available for sailors.

Hurricane conditions are updated every 6 hours during daylight, and nothing reliable after sundown till sunrise the next morning. Been my experience.

Ships can’t get out of the way fast enough if constrained buy shallow coastal waters. Out to sea, not along the coast is what I understand they try to do.

Correction, 28 kts is a fast ship. I was thinking something 14 to 18 kts.
