I keep hearing about the high pressure ridge and how important it is to steering hurricanes.

Hi guys, to all the great weather buffs I think the meteorologists on this
forum are pretty good at what they do. Cyclone keep up the good work, you are extremely thorough in you synopsis and info. I am posting from the island of Saint Lucia in the Windwards and I am a bit concerned about the positioning of the Bermuda high and what is generally expected for the upcoming season. I would appreciate if someone could comment.

Welcome to storm2k and I am glad that there is another member from the islands. As I haved been saying in other threads I hope that the Caribbean is spared from hurricanes in 2005 but we have to be prepared because it only takes one system to do all the damage.

It's a pleasure to be part of this board and I will try my best during the course of the season to give as much detailed obs from the island, by the way noticed a significant rain for the islands tommorrow or am I jumping the gun.

No you are not jumping the gun. There is a tropical wave coming through the islands in the next few days which should produce some rains for you.
