<P> Hurricane Tomas was the latest recorded tropical cyclone on a calendar year to strike the Windward Islands . The nineteenth named storm and twelfth hurricane of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season , Tomas developed from a tropical wave east of the Windward Islands on October 29 . Quickly intensifying into a hurricane , it moved through the Windward Islands and passed over Saint Lucia . After reaching Category 2 status on the Saffir - Simpson scale , Tomas quickly weakened to a tropical storm in the central Caribbean Sea , due to strong wind shear and dry air . Tomas later regained hurricane status as it reorganized near the Windward passage . </P>
