Good morning
Hope all are having a great weekend.
Looks like the weather is going to be pretty nice until the new year all in all
Bit of wind this Wednesday, and some moisture is going to move in to the area , looks like some rain early in the morning, then it tapers off and should be done by 9 am. The next 7-8 days looks fairly calm until Xmas , with the wind popping back up to seasonal strength of 16-17 knots. Then settles right back down until new years.
Doesn’t look like any major swell events at least until the new year. So all and all very pleasant weather till the end of December .
Be another week before I can catch a glimpse of what the first week of January will look like.
Have a great Holliday season

Good morning all
Just a quick note, doesn’t look like we are getting any where near the swell expected now or in the future , seems to have slackened way down, there still will be a persistent 1 meter swell for the next little while , but all and all looks like great weather for the next week and half at least.
All this wind will have knocked off by Wednesday .
Enjoy Dave

Good morning. All
Looks like we are going to get a good rain this morning , winds picking up to seasonal values today in the 14-17 range , winds will stay up for a couple of days increasing tomorrow some more to about 20 mph.
The ground sea is going to get pretty strong all week will be in the 2 meter range , and looks like we are going to have the ground sea stick around for for a while but will calm down a bit at the end of the week.
Our nice calm weather will be disrupted a bit will return later in the week.

Good morning 😃
Horray for a change we were not the bulls eye for the rain that hit every where else last night , for what ever reason it just didn’t land on top of us , PR got hammered , the islands off Purto Rico also, 6-8 inches , and St croix, also plenty of rain , st Marteen and Anguilla got there fair share also.
So we are happy we got a break.
The lightning last was impressive lots to the south of us.
There is still pockets of rain all around us , and they are still calling for more today , so we may get some showers off and on today , but at the moment the moon is out , and the rain is off shore, hope it stays that way.

Good evening to all
There is a fair amount of rain moving our way from the west, the they have flood warnings almost all they way across PR , it looks like the BVI are going to get allot of this rain tonight .
I don’t know for sure but maybe a substantial amount.
I put the last NWS weather report , tomorrow looks wet also .

Good morning
Looks like we have a bit more trailing moisture coming through this morning, should pass with maybe a couple of showers as it goes by depending on where you are.
Winds have picked up a bit today , is good because it will blow this moisture out faster, still going to be on the light side , and will get even lighter by tomorrow.
The peek of this ground sea that came in last night is peeking also this morning but will trail off for a couple of days , rough water for North and East shores that are exposed .
Lastly that was a building low that passed us by the other morning , and you can see it is still building as it aproaches the western Caribbean, and may develops a little more , not sure if it will get a name before it reaches the Central America , but it shows that the water is still warm enough to form low pressure circulation,
We may get a few more of these tropical waves before the end of the year .
Have a great day all

Good morning
Another nice begining of the day but it is suppose to get wet again this afternoon, and tomorrow afternoon, how wet will depend on how much of the trailing moisture, from the low we get, and how much the south wind is going to drag up from South America, wind guru is showing a good bit of showers but as the low moves farther we may not get as much as forecasted, but that’s just a guess of my part,
Winds are not to bad but if we get a couple of thunder storms this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, it will be gusty around though systems .
A majority of the moisture is sitting south of PR and that may be the ones that get a good portion of the rain that is supposed to come.
Have a great weekend
Dave

Good morning all.
Good bunch of rain early last night, cleared out some, for the moment , the low will be passing over us at noon , is why the winds are calmer for the moment , we will be in that light air region until the winds shift and come from the south east latter this afternoon, winds are going to be lighter than forecasted a couple of days ago, 10-15 knots and look to stay that way for the next week or so , will eventually this weekend become more easterly.
There is a big system to the east of St Marteen that is trying to get itself together , so there is suppose to be a bunch more rain moving in Sunday.
So still lots of moisture in the air, but should be at least some sunny periods with some showers periodically, today , then it’s a crap shoot as to how much or how little rain we get fri,sat, with it looks most wet on Sunday , SE winds tend to bring up the moisture from South America, and that ridge that has been hovering over us for 2-3 weeks now is still there keeping the aggressive weather in our region. All cisterns should be full to the brim by now.
Have a great weekend to come

Good afternoon all
Looks like we are going to have another low pressure system slide by tomorrow and the next day , per winds will be in the 22knt range , may be higher in thunderstorms, rain is going to pick up maybe substantially tomorrow and Thursday , with winds and rain seas will be a little rough for a couple of days.
We are going to get NE winds as the low approaches, and south east winds when it passes probably early Thursday morning it will transition for NE to SE .
Tropical storm Rafael formed yesterday, will probably be a hurricane as it it’s west Cuba , this was the low that passed us by and gave us all the rain last weekend.
The water in the ocean are still really warm so the low for tomorrow might be a bit stronger than predicted

Good morning all
A bit cloudy this morning cause we have a southerly wind flow and it’s drawing moisture from the low in the south Caribbean. When the winds shift more easterly this afternoon it should move the clouds out and let the sunshine a little more.
Weather for the first part of the week should be very nice, light winds easterly flow, maybe the odd morning and evening shower , the atmosphere is still moist.
Wednesday, Thursday the winds pick up substantially into the 17-19knt range .
The ridge to the north of us is stilll there about 150 miles north of us with lots of east wind up there, and that will continue to give a bit of a ground sea off and on through the next week or so.
Looks like Patty has been given to the storm that’s heading into Spain, like they need anymore, but it’s north west corner luckily not much population on its current track, but might give south of France some sporty weather.
The south Caribbean low is starting to move Northwest and our little is moving to the east and the two are to meet up just north of Cuba and could form a little something in the next week or so, in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, forecasting has shifted track lines closer to Florida , so far it’s forecasted to not make any land falls , but it’s way to early to say for sure.
Also there is another low that is suppose to develop in that ridge just North of us , and it may have a little spin to it as it passes us by at the moment to the North of us later next Friday ish .
That’s it for now .

Good morning all
Rain came with vengeance last night , and great light show with the thunder and lightning , the drizzling rain looks to continue today , you can see the X for the low that has stalled over top of us , until that moves well away from us we are going to be wet, may be some more periods of heavy rain while the moisture circles us, hopefully just some drizzles tonight as it tappers off tomorrow morning , but we are going to be in a wet weather pattern , with almost no wind starting Sunday again , off and on next week should have some sunny breaks though.
I think most people have finally shut the AC off for the first time in a year and brought out the comforter to sleep under .
Roads might be a bit of a mess today, there was some heavy rains in places last night .
Dave
A little bit of sun peaked out a bit this morning in VG south but has since disappeared,

29/10/2024

Good morning everybody
Looks like we are going to get very wet over the next 4-5 days , there is frontal boundary extending down from the north , we are lucky it kinda stops just north of us, but on top of that we have high pressure building in the Bahamas and a low pushing up from the south Caribbean that is going to create allot of moisture and is trying to develop into strong low, and may form a bit as it passes by western PR Saturday ish.
All this combines to mean allot rain and wind on Thursday into the weekend .
It is supposed to back off again into next week with low winds and sporadic bits of rain , by the end of next week , forecasting is showing the development of a tropical system developing late next week, and may become something with a name, Patty is next on the list , but there is nothing forming up as of yet .
On the windy picture you can see a bit of circulation happening just North of PR from the system going by this weekend

Well I’m going to eat a little crow today.
At least I gave myself a little out.
Yesterday I posted two scenarios of a system that is a long way off, wind guru had the system forming quicker and put the eye right on top of us as a cat one, windguru has today shifted there forecasting to align with windy forecast that the system will be slower to develop and pass slightly to the North leaving us with what looks like fairly calm weather as it passes.
This system is will be watched it is a building system as it approaches and is still fairly close as it passes by and lots of things can change with forecasting this far out , sooo a watch and wait week to see what happens with this new bit of weather coming our way.

Good morning all
There is allot of moisture around , and that’s suppose to last for at least the end of the week.
There are a couple of systems out there trying to form but they are struggling at the moment, the closest one may or may not pull itself together before it gets here , the farthest one will probably form into a hurricane but should head out to open ocean to the North long before it gets here.
Enjoy the week
Dave

07/09/2024

Good morning to all
Just a little up date, so far the good news continues for September , not much on the horizon as far as storms forming, but there will be a couple of tropical waves passing by over the next couple of weeks, and that is going to keep rain values higher than normal, and with the winds fairly light moisture is lingering a bit.
So kinda wet , with not much wind for a bit, I will take the light winds any time
Dave

30/08/2024

Good morning to all , there are some weather systems in the Atlantic that are starting to get active, the general sense of things is the closest one is going to pass through the Caribbean to the south of us as a wave or tropical depression, but and because it’s weather there is always a but , there are other models that suggest a stronger and more of north turn that would bring it closer to us as it goes by, so we will have to see how that turns out.
The second system is the bigger one that popped of the African coast yesterday and the guidance has it probably going to the North of us, but it is really to far away to make any definite forecast at all for that one at all, there is a third system behind that and will give info as it starts to get organized , will give as I get
Have a nice mostly sunny weekend

Good morning all
This is always a good map to sea this time of the year, a little break for a bit, dry air, Saharan dust, and some wind shear has given us a little break, in our normal weather pattern this time of the year, nearer the end of the month things will become more normal and tropical activity should start to pick up again for a couple of months .
Dave

17/08/2024

Good afternoon , bit of a tropical wave going by, thought was going to be a little farther south than is it, most of the system has passed by, but the wind is sooooo light , that it just takes ages to pass by , so probably will get the odd sprinkle tonight just because the atmosphere is so wet, should be fairly dry for awhile after this passes.
