Here I am preparing for the hazy ash skies soon after that eruption.Variable weather today in San Juan where partly cloudy skies occasionally turned cloudy and only a few moderate showers moved thru.

We're all weirded out...it's not making sense, but now, home, it's raining slightly on the roof. Skies are black to one side, normal evening on the other, we all thought it was going to be a rain day.
Drizzle = water coming from the sky
Serious rain is different - at the moment it is trying to be serious, we'll see.
WEIRD!!! Every sailor and serious weather person here is baffled and Nature is giggling.

Yes,a very strong area of thunderstorms apparently has avoided Puerto Rico.

Sure different than what it looked like this morning! :roll:

Funny! NOW we're getting blasted with wind and rain and it looks like nuthin'much on the radar. Yikes, lightning too! I'm going back to...if you stick your hand out and it is hot, it must not be raining...etc.

Good morning fellow NE Caribbean members.San Juan wakes up with partly cloudy skies and a light breeze.No rain last night but I saw some lighting at the distance to my NE.

Our electricity went out for two hours last night. The thunder was horrible here in Dorado. Beautiful this morning, nice and clear.

Good morning, all!! We have light easterly breezes, partly cloudy, and quite hazy this morning.

We had just a tiny bit of rain overnight, no more t-storms.

Yesterday around 4:30pm we were hit with some spectacular thunder, lightning, and torrential rain. My poor dog was so distressed, she followed me into the bathroom while I took my shower. (I know, that wasn't wise, but was getting ready for Fri night happy hr.) In fact, I took her with me to town. It didn't last long, about 90 minutes, at best, and kept everyone huddled under the roof at the bar for a great happy hour!!

Hazy, cloudy, with sun, light breezes with strong gusts.
Pretty smart dog, putting on the poor me show to get taken to happy hour! 8-)

Good evening fellow members in the NE Caribbean.Saturday became a wet day for the most part in San Juan and suburbs.A couple of heavy showers moved thru with gusty winds in the order of 27 mph by my anemometer.As I type this message tonight breezy conditions are the rule with east winds at 12 mph.Those east winds will help not letting any ash move our way.And that is good for the wedding tonight at St John.But maybe they may run into some spotty showers moved by the trades.

caribepr · #194 Postby **caribepr** » Sat Jul 01, 2006 7:13 pm

We've not had a drop of rain all day. Very light breezes, on and off overcast. Boaters are rafted up three and more at Dakity (over from the big island) and lots of visitors. White caps in the harbour this morning but all smoothed out now.

#195 Postby **msbee** » Sat Jul 01, 2006 8:02 pm

we've had a few very light showers today.
but it was a beautiful day. the haze is gone and so are the gray clouds.
and the humiidity!
thank God!
It had been so steamy here. very uncomfortable.
the breeze tonight is fairly strong, making for a cool comfortable night.
I hope the wedding in St. John went off without a hitch or a shower!
Enjoy the weekend, neighbors!

Barbara

Hello neighbors!

Not a drop of rain here today, not even a hint of rain. I mopped the floors and they dried fast. It was hazy most of the day, despite the east winds, but began to clear out late this afternoon. Feels good!!

We are only 3 miles from St. John. I'm sure the wedding was wonderful!

Good Morning Fellow members from the NE Caribbean.Scattered showers moved by the trade winds passed thru the San Juan metroflex overnight and this morning.Winds are from the East providing blue skys when the clouds go away meaning no ash for us.

Still looks like a fairly wet 4th of July for the NE Caribbean so let's prepare for this rain event.Again MJ and bvigal,both of you who watch a lot the marine conditions,expect a rough late monday thru the 4th at the water.Also strong winds are also with this wave.

A good sunday after all the rain overnight and early this morning at San Juan.Partly to mostly sunny blue skies prevailed with a moderate breeze from the East not allowing ash to come.But the weather will change to a wetter one monday night thru the 4th.

Good afternoon all!

OK, Luis, thanks for the heads up on possible rough seas Tuesday!

It's light breezy SE and warm (82) but not hot - a beautiful Sunday here!! We had some light rain overnight, but nothing so far today. It was really clear this morning, but as the winds have shifted to SE we have just a tiny bit of haze this afternoon. Just enough for a nice sunset! 8-)
