welcome aboard to Storm2k, neighbor!
This board is invaluable during hurricane season.
We are getitng some rain here now but not much.
So far you have received a lot more rain than we have.
Luis and MJ, it looks like you guys in PR and Culebra are lucking out from this system..
Is there still a flood watch issued for you?
Barbara
No watches for Puerto Rico now.But the grounds are saturated and if it starts to rain hard later tonight or tommorow then watches and warnings will be up.

Where do you mean by down the road? This may never make it to the "road".
It's a tropical wave... it's going to continue to move west. I am interested to see the interaction with this wave and a what will be old frontal boundary in the W/NW Caribbean and GOM. Depending on the positioning of a potential trough there may be just enough time for it to get going somewhat.
According to the GFS there will be an upper level high in the NW Caribbean and GOM i n 96 Hours.

The wave will be nearing that area around that time.

72 Surface Forecast TPC
The front to the north may have enough interaction to get convection flared up with this area and if it moves under the ULH we could have a storm pop up in a few days. I'm just saying... It's not like it is definitely going to happen.

This happens quite often.
I’d venture to say that those "idiots" would have a few nice words for your verifiable forecasts...
To be fair, NLMOC issued it at 1430 UTC, before the 11:30 TWO...

That product is not for public use anyway. We are supposed to refer to NOAA for official information, not the navy.

This is the last report from San Juan.

AFDSJU
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
1050 PM AST THU OCT 12 2006
.DISCUSSION...THE LOCAL AREA IS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A
STATIONARY WAVE LOCATED OVER THE AREA AND AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
WHOSE AXIS WAS ESTIMATED OVER THE MONA PASSAGE. IN SUMMARY THE
LOCAL AREA IS UNDER THE DIVERGENCE AREA AHEAD OF THE TROPICAL WAVE
AND THE SUBSIDENCE AREA BEHIND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW. SO FAR THIS IS
RESULTING IN A WEATHER PATTERN DRIER THAN EXPECTED BEFORE. GFS40
MODEL GUIDANCE WHICH IS PICKING UP THIS SCENARIO VERY WELL SUGGEST
THAT MOST OF THE WEATHER WILL BE TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE
LOCAL AREA.
MINOR CHANGES IN THE POSITION IN THESE TWO SYSTEMS MAY RESULT IN A
COMPLETE DIFFERENT WEATHER SCENARIO.
We are still waiting for this mornings report with crossed fingers.

I don't think we have a flood watch going on.
Don't you just love them
When we got flooded back with TSE the would be floting on top of the water. Now my yard is full of them. If you pour bleach over your bites they will not blister up. But have to do it as some as it happens to you.

Game is NOT over before December 31th. Wait for late season storms like Delta in the eastern atlantic...
I respectfully disagree with you-we cant even get up to our average number of named storms during the season in the Atlantic. What makes one want to look for post season activity? This is a far cry from 2005, 2004, 2003, etc This season is unusual but not exactly interesting to most. I like anomolies though and I wouldnt cry if we didnt see another named storm in 2006 so we could have one below average season sandwiched in the middle of a bunch of very active seasons.

I didn't gather TheEuropean was talking about post season as much as formation...but I could be wrong. Here in the islands...though we might wish it and while we have been incredibly fortunate...saying it's over before it's over is considered poor form, because...you never know, even if you think you do.
