Hey guys in the Leewards,stay safe and dry.Keep us informed of any observations from the islands. I will do the same when it gets here.

Thanks Luis, we sincerely appreciate your wink . I will try as usual and as possible. I think that tommorow we should deal with tenacious and pretty active 92L! Looks like this thing does not to give up given the strong convection building sw of the "LLC", amazing to see 92L in very good shape since this afternoon, and this trend is increasing very nicely! Guadeloupe, and the Northern Leewards could be in orange code tommorow if this tendency amplifies with my untrained eyes of amateur! Just have to wait and see right now, matter of hours.

Wow! Satellite and radar show a crazy looking Tropical wave about to move into the chain. I'm house sitting tonight on d north side and didn't do anything extra on the boats. Hope the squalls don't rattle my chain tonight too much.
all normal at this hour tho.

Hey guys in the Leewards,stay safe and dry.Keep us informed of any observations from the islands. I will do the same when it gets here.

Best wishes from me too.

We look forward to hearing from you, as possible.

Is Las pilas in the mountains? The temperature is nice and cool there.

Yes it is in the mountains, near the border with Honduras, that region has a very nice climate though it gets very chilly in the winter months .

92L at 01:00 18/06/2010
By Chris Bolt <gommier at gmail.com>
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2010 00:58:03 -0400

92L does not appear to have any circulation. It's path seems to have gropped a bit and now looks as if it will come though the islands about Dominica and Martinique. The last NHC report says it has a 20% chance of becoming a tropical storm in the next 48 hours. See what it is like in the morning.

[Gustywind]

Right now the deterioration expected should be on tape in the next few hours for Guadeloupe...

[cycloneye]

Good morning. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for this weekend. Stay safe and dry and report the observations from the islands if you can.I say if you can because the power goes or the internet goes in areas and then you can't do anything.

CROWNWEATHER Forecast

Issued: Friday, June 18, 2010 625 am EDT/525 am CDT

For Maps, Images and Graphics On Invest 92-L, Go To: http://www.crownweather.com/?page_id=325.

Discussion
Invest 92-L Will Track Across The Lesser Antilles Today and **May Develop** Later On Down The Road: After being deactivated and pretty much written off yesterday, Invest 92-L came roaring back yesterday afternoon and last night and is currently a strong tropical wave that will track across the Lesser Antilles today. The overall setup this morning is as follows: An upper level low pressure system that was located to the northwest of 92-L is now tracking slowly northward. Meanwhile, an area of high pressure is developing over the southeastern Caribbean. This high pressure system is forecast to strengthen and build across much of the eastern Caribbean this weekend. This setup may allow Invest 92-L to get into a more favorable environment later this weekend and especially next week. Over the past hour or so, satellite imagery indicated that the convection had waned and become more ragged which indicates that the destructive shear is close by just to the north.

Thunderstorms with strong winds, heavy rainfall and rough seas are likely today from the islands of St. Vincent northward through St. Martin and Anguilla. These thunderstorms with strong winds, heavy rainfall and rough seas will spread into the Virgin Islands later today and then Puerto Rico tonight and continue through Saturday. After that, heavy rainfall with the risk for flash flooding can be expected across Hispaniola this weekend.

Now, the big question is will Invest 92-L develop into a tropical depression or a tropical storm?? Even though Invest 92-L is producing strong convection this morning, I think wind shear will limit development into a tropical cyclone in the short term. In the longer term, however, many of the model guidance members are forecasting that this system will find much better environmental conditions by about the middle part of next week as it potentially nears the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. One thing to keep in mind is that when tropical systems bust through an area of very high shear, they can find themselves in pretty favorable environmental conditions, so it is quite possible that development into a tropical depression or a tropical storm may happen next week in the southern Gulf of Mexico.

A quick rundown of the particular model guidance members show that the GFDL model forecasts it to track north of Hispaniola and into the northern Bahamas, which seems too far north of a track. The Canadian model forecasts that it will track into the western Gulf of Mexico. The HWRF model forecasts that it will track to near south Florida and the northern Florida Keys in 5 days. The GFS model forecasts that 92-L will track into and through the Gulf of Mexico by the end of next week. The European model forecasts that 92-L will eventually combine with energy from the ITCZ and another tropical wave to its east and develop near the Yucatan Peninsula in about 9 or 10 days. As for intensity, the HWRF, GFDL and SHIPS intensity guidance all forecast that 92-L will intensify into a low end tropical storm.

My take is that the best shot for development into a tropical depression or tropical storm will be from Monday and beyond, once Invest 92-L reaches the northwest Caribbean or the Florida Straits and the environmental conditions become much more favorable. With this system being such a fighter in the face of strong shear, I suspect that this will be a system to really keep a close eye on over the next several days.

I will be posting updates on Invest 92-L throughout the weekend, so keep checking back for the latest.

UK Met Office Forecasting An Extremely Busy Hurricane Season: There is another reliable meteorological agency that is forecasting an extremely busy hurricane season. The Met Office over in the United Kingdom is forecasting 20 tropical storms between July and November with a Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index of 204.

If this verifies, it would make this hurricane season one of the most active tropical storm seasons on record. Only 2005 recorded more storms between July and November with 25 tropical storms recorded. Only three seasons, 1995, 2004 and 2005, have recorded a ACE index greater than 204.

It needs to be emphasized that the UK Met Office has done very well in its forecasts of Atlantic tropical cyclone activity and was able to identify the relatively quiet seasons of 2007 and 2009 from the active season of 2008.

[artist]

thinking about you guys! HOpe it doesn't bring too much rain, etc. for you.

[KWT]

Looks to me like there is going to be quite a lot of rain about in the Windward Islands today, probably some storms about as well as the convection is quite strong still.

[cycloneye]

Maybe a weak reflection of a circulation just west of Guadeloupe.

[cycloneye]

Some weak west winds in Dominica but it may not mean anything important.

Yes,the web cam there shows what you are saying.

Barbara,nothing too threatening for the islands right now,only scattered showers with some thunder and a few gusts but I can say as of right now,the Leewards have dodged a bullet in terms of having much more bad weather from this than what they are having.
