Arfff tkanks a lot you're king i love that and you speak french too, ou ka palé français?
Hummm....what's the weather in your area?
Speaking about Erika...another round of lightnings are coming and i have some nice flashs since 5 minutes. Thunder is rumbling too. No showers.

[Gustywind]

2years? well, congratulations. You are indeed a positive asset to this board Gusty

Huummm TKANK YOU VERY MUCH. i'm glad to be with you here Msbee, always a pleasure to discuss the weather, i appreciate your posts, your reasonings, etc. It's an excellent board here, i appreciate especially the TENT, looks like we're brothers and sisters .

It stopped raining for some hours ago. Still don't have a good feeling about this lady. Wxman57 was already into the possibility that the MLC besides Guadeloupe could consolidate itself by getting to the surface and establish LLC.

It's a very small possibility but................... It fits into some of the models........ and fits into what JB (accuweather) has been saying as well.

As said, it's a very....very small possibilty..... but after I saw the amount of energy in the southern part of the convection, together with the amount of rain we had here 8.03" and on Martinique as well. Far south from the "center" I keep it in mind.

Interresting analysis even pertinent something to watch for sure but i'm not convinced about this scenario. Let's see what happens tonight.
Tkanks expat2carib .

[expat2carib]

Actually it's happening right now. I don't think the MLC will survive though. It separated itself but lost too much of the convection. The LLC is almost gone.

Final measurements concerning the amounts of water in Guadeloupe...during the last 24 Hours
Erika's episode

Meteo-France Guadeloupe measured 100 millimeters at Basse-Terre and higher in some areas in vicinity. 150 millimeters have been reported on the east of Guadeloupe ("Grande Terre"). Another area in Grande Terre, Le Moule experienced 80 and Petit-Canal 75.
Les Saintes have 96 millimeters and la Désirade 77.
Strongests gusts have reached 90 kilometer per hour (49kts) at Marie-Galante.
To sum up weak TS effects, but for sure Basse-Terre experienced this" little "feature as HUC said ("yeah I FELT IT yesterday night") in one of it previous posts about the violents thunder impacts abating, frequents lightnings, juicy amount of rain showers). Basse-Terre and the adjacents areas have reported very very minor damages even nothing in spite of two big floodings (Trois-Rivières and Bouillante) given the latest infos from the radio and TV.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
839 PM AST THU SEP 3 2009

.UPDATE...A BAND OF SHOWERS AROUND THE CIRCULATION CENTER OF ERIKA
IS VISIBLE ON TJUA RADAR AND A FEW SHOWERS ARE MOVING INTO THE
FORECAST AREA FROM THE SOUTHEAST. OTHERWISE SHOWERS HAVE GENERALLY
DISSIPATED ACROSS PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. THE
CONVECTION OVER THE LEEWARD ISLANDS CONTINUES BUT IS NOT AS
INTENSE. A CIRCULATION CENTER ALSO APPEARS AROUND GUADELOUPE.
HAVE UPDATED MOST OF THE GRIDS TO REFLECT THE WEAKENED STATE OF
ERIKA AND SOME POSSIBILITIES THAT SURROUND THE FORECAST OF THE
NEXT 72 HOURS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...BOTH THE GFS AND THE NAM DEVELOP A CIRCULATION NORTH
OF PUERTO RICO BY SUNDAY MORNING AND BOTH BRING A CONSIDERABLE
AMOUNT OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
DIFFERENCES ARE SUBTLE OVER PUERTO RICO SINCE BOTH BRING SOUTH TO
SOUTHEAST SURFACE AND 850 MB WINDS OVER THE AREA DURING THE
PERIOD. THUS HAVE KEPT POPS FAIRLY HIGH OVER THE AREA...OF
COURSE...BANDS FROM THE LOW...SHOULD IT TRY TO RE-DEVELOP IN THE
POSITION BOTH THE NAM AND THE GFS PLACE IT IN...WOULD TEND TO AID IN
THE PRODUCTION OF RAIN HERE AS THEY PASSED. BUT THE POTENTIAL RE-
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS LOW IN OTHER THAN AN EXTRAPOLATION OF THE
CURRENT WESTERLY TRACK ALSO COMPLICATES THE FORECAST CONSIDERABLY.
THEREFORE WILL JUST HAVE TO SETTLE FOR GENERALLY HIGH POPS AND
CANNOT PIN-POINT EITHER AMOUNTS OR LOCATIONS OF THE HEAVIER RAIN
UNTIL THE PATTERN IS MORE CLEARLY MANIFESTED.

THE POSSIBILITY OF RE-DEVELOPMENT OF THE SURFACE LOW AND THE
CONTINUED PRESENCE OF STRONG CONVECTION OVER THE LEEWARDS AND IN
THE NORTHEASTERN CARIBBEAN...AS WELL AS THE WIDE AREA OF
PRECIPITABLE WATER HOVERING NEAR OR ABOVE 2 INCHES JUST EAST OF
PUERTO RICO ALL SPEAK WELL FOR CONTINUING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH.
FLASH FLOODING...HOWEVER SHOULD NOT BEGIN BEFORE 6 AM AST ON
FRIDAY AND MORE PROBABLY AFTER NOON.

&&

.AVIATION...
A BROAD MID LEVEL ROTATION NEAR GUADELOUPE ISLAND...ASSOCIATED WITH
DISSIPATING TROPICAL DEPRESSION ERIKA...IS FIRING UP SOME SHRA AND
TSRA ACTIVITY THIS EVENING. EXPECT ADDITIONAL SHRAS AND TSRAS
TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...EVENTUALLY AFFECTING TKPK AND TNCM BY 04/04Z
AND REACHING TISX AND TIST BY 04/12Z. EXPECT INTERMITTENT MVFR
CONDITIONS ALL TAF SITES TOMORROW...AS CONTINUED SHRA AND TSRA
DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...BEFORE THIS
AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER TRACKS TO OUR NORTHWEST SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.

.CLIMATE...THE LOW TEMPERATURE OF 81 DEGREES IN SAN JUAN YESTERDAY
WAS THE WARMEST LOW TEMPERATURE EVER RECORDED ON THE 2ND OF
SEPTEMBER IN SAN JUAN. THIS MARKS THE 2ND DAY IN A ROW OF RECORD
WARMTH DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. IF THE TEMPERATURE DOES NOT FALL
BELOW 81 DEGREES BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...THIS WILL BE THE THIRD
CONSECUTIVE DAY WITH A LOW TEMPERATURE OF 81 DEGREES...AND THE THIRD
CONSECUTIVE DAY THAT SET OR EQUALED A RECORD WARM LOW TEMPERATURE. OFFICIAL
RECORDS IN SAN JUAN DATE BACK TO JANUARY 1ST 1956.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
612 AM AST FRI SEP 4 2009


.DISCUSSION...
A BROAD LOW TO MID LEVEL CIRCULATION APPARENT BETWEEN THE NORTHERN
LEEWARDS AND THE ISLAND OF SAINT CROIX...ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW
PRESSURE CENTER/REMNANTS OF THE DOWNGRADED DEPRESSION ERIKA...
HAS CONTINUED TO ENHANCE SHOWERS AND PRODUCE INTENSE THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY EARLY THIS MORNING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST CARIBBEAN. EXPECT
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION
LATER IN THE DAY AIDED BY AN UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE PATTERN...
DAYTIME HEATING...AN LOCAL TERRAIN EFFECTS.

BOTH THE GFS AND NAM MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGEST THE REFORMATION OF A
CYCLONIC CIRCULATION NORTH OF PUERTO RICO BY SUNDAY...WITH BOTH STILL
SUGGESTING CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE TO LIFT ACROSS THE AREA
TODAY THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY. THE POSSIBILITY OF REDEVELOPMENT
OF A SURFACE LOW AND THE CONTINUED PRESENCE OF STRONG CONVECTION
ACROSS THE LEEWARDS AND THE NORTHEASTERN CARIBBEAN...AS WELL AS
THE LARGE TONGUE OF PWAT/MOISTURE STRETCHING ACROSS THE EASTERN
CARIBBEAN IS SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL AT LEAST
THROUGH SATURDAY. THEREFORE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT
THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY EVENING...AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
TO SEE HOW THE FEATURE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION UNFOLDS.

DEEP MOISTURE IS STILL HOWEVER EXPECTED TO SLOWLY FILTER IN ACROSS
THE REGION TRAILING THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOW TO MID LEVEL CIRCULATION
OF THIS COMPLEX SYSTEM...AND WILL LIKELY LINGER ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH SATURDAY...FOLLOWED BY A SLIGHTLY DRIER TREND BEGINNING ON
SUNDAY. HOWEVER...SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE
ON SUNDAY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NOCTURNAL AND DIURNAL CONVECTION
ACROSS THE EAST COASTAL AREAS AND WEST INTERIOR SECTIONS OF PUERTO
RICO RESPECTIVELY...AS WELL AS PARTS OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.

It looks like PR/VI will be in bulls eye today.

[knotimpaired]

It looks like PR/VI will be in bulls eye today.

Luis, do you think the yellow rain to the south is going to make it up to here? The weather channel said it would in all likelihood remain down there.

[knotimpaired]

The rain has stopped for now. We have received .47" this morning. Literally no wind. The south side has apparently received much more but I do not know anyone in Esperanza that has a rain gauge.

Gov. Fortuno said this morning we should expect 4-8" and 10" in some areas. Schools are open as well as government office since Erika has become a wave.

For those planning on flying in or out of Vieques today give the airline a call before going to the airport.

[Gustywind]

Be on your guard all my friends from the North. Msbee you're always under an yellow alert, continue to be prudent. Gustywind

TROPICAL WAVE IS FROM 18N22W THROUGH A 1010 MB LOW NEAR 14.5N22W
TO 9N20W MOVING NW NEAR 15 KT. WAVE REMAINS EMBEDDED WITHIN A
BROAD AREA OF DEEP LAYERED MOISTURE MAXIMUM AS INDICATED BY THE
TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWERS A
BROAD LOW/MID LEVEL CYCLONIC ROTATION. SCATTERED MODERATE
CONVECTION IS FROM 13N-16N BETWEEN 22-24W.

TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 34W/35W S OF 18N WITH A 1011 MB LOW ALONG
THE WAVE NEAR 14N MOVING W NEAR 10 KT. THE WAVE COINCIDES WITH A

STRONG CONVECTION IS FROM 15N-17N BETWEEN 34W-36W.

TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 51W/52W S OF 17N MOVING W NEAR 10 KT.
WAVE REMAINS LOW-AMPLITUDE AND EMBEDDED WITHIN THE ITCZ AT THE
LEADING EDGE OF A MOISTURE MAXIMUM AS INDICATED BY TOTAL
PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY. WAVE IS ALSO EMBEDDED WITHIN SAHARAN
DUST THUS LIMITING ANY SHOWERS/CONVECTION.

...DISCUSSION...

GULF OF MEXICO...
AN UPPER TROUGH THAT COVERS THE E HALF OF THE U.S. EXTENDS S
COVERING THE ENTIRE GULF TO ACROSS THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND S
MEXICO. A REMNANT SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS ACROSS THE FLORIDA
PENINSULA ENTERING THE GULF NEAR FORT MYERS TO 26N87W. SCATTERED

TROUGH TO 23N E OF 86W ACROSS S FLORIDA. SCATTERED SHOWERS/
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE OVER THE NE GULF N OF 27N E OF 89W.
EVEN THOUGH THERE IS DRY AIR IN THE UPPER LEVELS ACROSS THE
CENTRAL GULF...THERE IS ENOUGH SURFACE MOISTURE TO GENERATE
ISOLATED SHOWERS DOTTING THE REMAINDER OF THE GULF.

CARIBBEAN SEA...
THE REMNANT 1010 MB LOW OF ERIKA IS CENTERED OVER THE NE
CARIBBEAN NEAR 17N65W AND IS CONTINUING TO GENERATE SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS FROM 14N-19N BETWEEN 62W-66W INCLUDING THE
LEEWARD AND VIRGIN ISLANDS. THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GULF OF
MEXICO COVERS THE NW CARIBBEAN N OF 15N W OF 80W GENERATING
SCATTERED SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS NW OF LINE FROM CUBA
NEAR 22N81W TO THE YUCATAN PENINSULA NEAR N BELIZE. AN UPPER
RIDGE COVERS THE REMAINDER OF THE CARIBBEAN ANCHORED OVER THE SE
NEAR 13N69W DRAWING TROPICAL MOISTURE OVER THE SW CARIBBEAN AND
COUPLED WITH THE ITCZ EXTENDING ACROSS THE AREA FROM COLOMBIA TO
COSTA RICA INTO THE E PACIFIC REGION IS GENERATING SCATTERED

RICA.

ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A SURFACE TROUGH ENTERS THE REGION NEAR 32N76W EXTENDING SW TO A
1013 MB LOW OFF THE COAST OF DAYTONA BEACH FLORIDA CONTINUING
ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. BROAD
UPPER RIDGE REMAINS ANCHORED OVER THE W ATLC NEAR 31N71W
PROVIDING DIFFLUENCE ALOFT TO GENERATE CLUSTERS OF SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS FROM 23N-29N BETWEEN 76W-80W INCLUDING THE
N BAHAMA ISLANDS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS DOT THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA W OF 75W. THE BROAD
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE E ATLC AND THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE E
CARIBBEAN COMBINE TO PRODUCE AN AREA OF DIFFLUENCE ALOFT TO
GENERATE SCATTERED SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE CENTRAL
ATLC WITHIN 90/120 NM OF LINE FROM 28N61W TO 22N48W.
OTHERWISE...THE REMAINDER OF THE ATLC IS DOMINATED BY A BROAD

Another measurements concerning the amounts of water in Guadeloupe...just after the return in green alert

Given Meteo-France after 5PM (back to to green alert): here is the latest measurements in some locations in Guadeloupe:eek:

Le Moule experienced 120 millimeters, Ste-Anne too, while St-François get 100 millimeters (between 5PM to 11PM especially) and 165 mm at Désirade ... humm pretty juicy amounts in these areas .

From Stormcarib

Friday September 4, 2009 06:45AM EDT - Prom Queen Erika


Good morning,

All dressed up and no where to go! That seems to be the case at the moment with now classified remnant low Erika who is currently swirling off to the south of St. Croix and Puerto Rico. Her convection has once again flared up and the cloud tops on water vapor are more impressive this morning than they have been in quite some time. Satellite and bouy data indicate 29 mph winds still exist but only in the NE quadrant. Regeneration is still a small possibility but first, she must survive higher wind shear ahead and a slot of dry air, also visible on water vapor imagery.

Currently in the Virgin Islands, it is overcast with light rain covering most of the islands. Winds are genrally from the southeast around 6 mph with pressure falling. Some areas received heavy rain early this morning around 2:00 am with accompanying lightning and thunder but most of the rain fell over open waters. Most schools are still in session today as I've seen buses and school children on the roads. More rain, heavy at times is expected later today. A flash flood watch remains in effect through Saturday evening.

More development from our train of waves departing the African coast the next week or so is very probable as they are exiting with vigor, plenty of strong convection and lower pressures.

APPROACHING SAINT CROIX FROM THE EAST...AND WILL MOVE OVER THE
ISLAND AT LEAST THROUGH 12 PM AST. PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS ACTIVITY. ACCUMULATIONS OF ONE TO
TWO INCHES ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS ACTIVITY. THIS HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL RESULT IN THE FLOODING OF SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS AS WELL AS
LOW LYING AREAS ACROSS THE ADVISED AREA.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS AND GUTS...
AND LOW SPOTS IN HIGHWAYS. ADDITIONALLY...ROADS AND LAND ALONG THE
BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS AND OTHER LOW LYING AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO
FLOODING. ALSO...MUDSLIDES ARE POSSIBLE IN AREAS OF STEEP TERRAIN.
MOTORISTS SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

It's amazing. even though Erika is officially dead, she can still cause some real problems for PR and VI today.
I hope you guys don't get too much rain from her or it or whatever they are calling it now.
She definitely was a non event for us happily although I do wish we had gotten some more rain.
it's either feast or famine, it seems
