All in all, it's been a pretty pleasant morning, considering all the dryness and heat we've been experiencing over the last month. It's a nice change!
Apparently, it's a fairly vigorous feeder band that's causing these strong wind gusts (and occasionally heavy rains).chrisjslucia wrote:abajan wrote:Indeed the tail does have a punch, although not of the severity of Tomas. Only within the last 15 minutes have I experienced the strongest gusts (well in excess of the tropical storm threshold) here in the south of Barbados. Knowing that you're over 100 miles WNW of my location, you'd better not relax just yet!chrisjslucia wrote:Well, Ernesto brought some stronger winds and occasional gusts but very little rain to the north of St Lucia - we have certainly had much greater impact from passing waves. Reports from elsewhere in the country are comparable, so unless the South / South East report more of an impact, Ernesto has had little impact. Whether the tail offers more others may be able to say. Hopefully, the rest of the Caribbean and CONUS will also be spared any serious impact.
Hi Abajan, yes you are too right! Wish I knew where this storm was in reality as the tail seems to have more sting than the centre. When I see the storm is well to our west I keep wondering when this wind will die down. Still having strong gusts of wind here and occasional strong showers and Bajan Radar is showing much more to come.
Are you all going to manage to celebrate cropover this weekend?

I'm glad that Ernesto was not a big deal for the islands . In Central America we're watching him, especially the northern part of the region could experience some rains from the outer bands.Return to “USA & Caribbean Weather”
