This discussion in general has great news for all of us who live in the Eastern Caribbean islands.

As things look to be returning to normal, I fixed the title of thread to have it as it's normal title (Caribbean - Central America Weather Thread)


AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
438 PM AST FRI OCT 8 2010

.SYNOPSIS...RECENTLY UPGRADED HURRICANE OTTO WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
AWAY FROM THE REGION TONIGHT. MID-UPPER LVL RIDGING WILL BUILD
ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT AND HOLD THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. A
TROPICAL WAVE EAST OF THE WINDWARDS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN
WATERS SUN.

&&

.DISCUSSION...SIG IMPROVEMENT TO THE WX CONDITIONS HAS BEEN NOTED
THIS AFTERNOON WITH MOST OF THE STEADY RAIN DISSIPATED.
HOWEVER...A LINE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE MONA PASSAGE IS STARTING TO
MOVE ONTO THE WEST COAST OF PR. IR IMAGERY SHOWS THAT CLOUD TOPS
HAVE BEEN WARMING SUGGESTING THAT THE CONVECTION COULD DISSIPATE
SOON. HOWEVER...WILL MAINTAIN THE FLOOD WATCH UNTIL ITS CURRENT EXPIRATION
TIME IN CASE OF ANY UNEXPECTED CHANGES IN CONVECTION BUT BELIEVE
THAT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE TONIGHT AS MID UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE AREA.

GOOD WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR SAT AND SUN AS STRONG SUBSIDENCE AND
DRYING TAKES PLACE. HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL A POSSIBILITY OF
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS OR TSRA MAINLY ACROSS NORTHERN PR.
OTHERWISE...HOT UNDER A SOUTHERLY FLOW.

TROPICAL WAVE A FEW HUNDRED MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARDS WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE WEST NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH WAVE AXIS EXPECTED
TO REACH 70W SUN MORNING. HOWEVER...MODELS SHOW MOST ACTIVE WX
OCCURRING ON MON. AT THIS TIME...IT IS UNCERTAIN IF CONVECTION
WILL PERSIST AS MODELS SUGGEST WAVE WILL BREAK UP AS IT APPROCHES
THE LOCAL AREA. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. AT
ANY RATE...NOTHING ANYWHERE CLOSE TO WHAT JUST WE EXPERIENCED PAST
SVRL DAYS.

OVERALL...NEXT WEEK LOOKS DRIER THAN NORMAL UNDER STRONG MID-UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE AND WITH MJO AMPLIFLYING ACROSS THE WRN
PACIFIC/MARITIME CONTINENT THAT SHOULD FAVOR SUPPRESSED CONVECTION
ACROSS THE WRN HEMISPHERE.

&&

.AVIATION...TEMPO MVFR CIGS AT JMZ/JBQ REST OF THIS AFTERNOON WITH
SHRA/TSRA. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS XPCD.


&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS AS OTTO PULLS AWAY FROM THE REGION.

Good morning. Finnally, after a few days without the sun,is here. But a Tropical Wave may arrive by Monday causing more showers.


AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
649 AM AST SAT OCT 9 2010

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY FLATTEN
OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC AS HURRICANE OTTO LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST
AND AWAY FROM THE LOCAL AREA. A TROPICAL WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGIONAL WATERS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AS THE HURRICANE OTTO ACCELERATES TO THE NORTHEAST
AND MOVING AWAY FROM THE FA...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
PUERTO RICO AND THE LOCAL ISLANDS WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE
CONSIDERABLY. AS RESULT...THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS EXPIRED...
BECAUSE THE THREAT OF WIDESPREAD FLOODING HAS ENDED.

TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
DESPITE...THE MID-UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA AND THE
RELATIVELY DRIER AIR THAT WILL ADVECT FROM THE SOUTHEAST...AHEAD
OF THE TROPICAL WAVE...AFTERNOON SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
ACROSS PUERTO RICO EACH AFTERNOON. IN FACT...THE MOISTURE LEFT
BEHIND DEPARTING HURRICANE OTTO WILL INTERACT WITH THE DAYTIME
HEATING...SEA BREEZE CONVERGENCE AND LOCAL EFFECTS...TO PRODUCE
SOME ADDITIONAL CLOUDINESS...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOCAL ISLANDS EACH AFTERNOON. THE
PREVAILING SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST TRADE WIND FLOW ACROSS THE FA WILL
FAVOR THE AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER INTERIOR AND
NORTHERN SECTIONS OF PUERTO RICO FOR THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.


EARLY NEXT WEEK...A TROPICAL WAVE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE
LOCAL REGION. THIS WILL BRING INCREASING MOISTURE WITH HIGHER
PWAT VALUES ONCE AGAIN ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA AND ALSO INCREASE THE
CHANCES FOR ACTIVE AND SQUALLY WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
ISLANDS AND SURROUNDING WATERS MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. THEN...
NUMERICAL MODELS SUGGEST A DRYING TREND ACROSS THE EASTERN
CARIBBEAN BY MID-WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH 09/15Z ACROSS ALL
TAF SITES. CONVECTION FROM SOLAR HEATING IS EXPECTED TO CREATE MTN
OBSCURATIONS AND SOME MVFR CONDS OVER THE INTERIOR OF PUERTO RICO
BUT THESE CONDS WILL BE BRIEF OVER TJSJ AND TJMZ. VFR CONDS ARE
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL AT TIST...TISX...TNCM AND TKPK AS MOISTURE FROM
HURRICANE OTTO IS LIFTED NORTHWARD. LLVL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO TURN
FROM SW TO SE NEXT 24 HOURS.


&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH OVER THE NEXT DAY
OR SO...AS THE HURRICANE OTTO WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST NORTHEAST
AND AWAY FROM THE REGIONAL WATERS. MARINERS CAN EXPECT WINDS OF 15 KNOTS
OR LESS AND SEAS FROM 3 TO 6 FEET. THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR
THE OFF SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS HAS EXPIRED. SMALL BOAT OPERATORS
SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION IN THE OUTER WATERS.

Interesting reads on Guadeloupe and in Puerto Rico, and thanks for the translations.

I am glad to see the general improvement of weather conditions across the Caribbean on the satellite pictures this morning. A cluster of thunderstorms did develop near to Aruba overnight and dropped 7.6mm of rain to the airport there, but that too was moving away westwards.

The first cooler air (not rain-enhanced) of the young new season brought comfortably cooler air to Havana, Cuba 64F ( 17.5C) and to Nassau, Bahamas 69F (20.8C) overnight.

No problem my friend but glad to see that i appreciate! Very nice job as usual by Cycloneye thanks to him i have a nice link to keep to translate and by the way share you the best infos in the Butterfly island . The damages were important at Basse-Terre and HUC was very amazed by that, the night of last Wednesday was impressive.

[cycloneye]

Nice change from cloudy rainy days to this,right Barbara? All the cams posted at the first post of thread show sunny conditions in the Caribbean.
