Bis repetita for an Unsetteled weather in Eastern Caribbean

[Gustywind]

Waouw we're blessed yeah but... another round of showers and maybe tstorms this afternoon and tonight. A moist air mass has stalled and should bring strong showers and tstorms, with amounts to be about 50 to 100 millimeters...testyfying the yellow alert in place at 11 am for Guadeloupe and St Marteen/St Barth:eek: . For info Marie-Galante has received 50 millimeters this morning, not so bad like "Basse-Terre" and "Grand-Terre"! Hopefully the wind should not be problem ...
Don't let your guard down all carib islanders, hey Luis tell me how the things are in PR, very moist here and pretty unsetelled, hope no more rain, we're sufficiently showed for one week.!

[cycloneye]

Its pouring over me.The radar says it all.For sure there will be flood watches and warnings later today as the grounds here dont hold any more water.

TPC talked about this surface trough (Tropical Wave?)

CARIBBEAN SEA...
BROAD RIDGING ALOFT COVERS THE SOUTHWESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE
CARIBBEAN...WITH UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE BETWEEN THE CARIBBEAN
RIDGE...AND A TROUGH OVER THE NW CARIBBEAN AND EPAC...SUPPORTING
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS ACROSS THE SW CARIBBEAN S OF
12N INCLUDING ADJACENT PORTIONS OF PANAMA AND COSTA RICA.
HOWEVER...SUBSTANTIALLY MORE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IS FOUND OVER
THE NEARBY E PAC WATERS S OF PANAMA AND COSTA RICA...WHERE
LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE ITCZ IS AN ENHANCING FACTOR.
MEANWHILE...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE N OF THE CARIBBEAN SEA IS
RESULTING IN FRESH E TRADE WINDS. THESE FRESH E TRADE WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEK. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE
FOUND NEAR THE COAST OF COLOMBIA...WHERE NE TO E 20-25 KT WINDS
ARE OCCURRING.POCKETS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND ISOLATED
SHOWERS ARE BEING ADVECTED WESTWARD ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN...WITH
THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF THESE SHOWERS WITHIN 90 NM EITHER
SIDE OF A SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE NE CARIBBEAN THAT EXTENDS FROM
15N63W TO E OF PUERTO RICO NEAR 18N64W. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS
CONTINUE TO INDICATE A WEAK CYCLONIC WIND SHIFT IN THE VICINITY
OF THIS TROUGH. ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN ONE-THIRD OF THE
CARIBBEAN...DEEP LAYER DRY AIR IS RESULTING IN GENERALLY FAIR
WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Damn, i understand, it's incredible Luis, it looks like we're in July getting copious amounts of water due to Twaves while we're facing with the assauts of muscled moists airs mass . Always grey, rainy, winds are blowing a bit but nothing to kill a cat or a cat or Gustywind !
Stay safe Cycloneye i will keep you informed if the things are quickly evolving. But sincerely i do not want any serious juice from this episod. Continue to keep us informed as usual, we appreciate in the Leewards

[abajan]

Gustywind, I was surprised to hear on our news about recent flooding rains in Martinique. Over the last few days, we in Barbados have had a few showers and nothing more.

[tripeman]

Just woke up here in St. Kitts by torrential rainfall could barely see the other side of the village. We have been getting a lot of rain since the start of May, the rainy season started with a bang or should i say a splash.

Hi my friend, how are you?
Yeah unhopefully for our neighbour : Martinica, that was a nightmare. Glad to see that you were not in the trouble area in Barbados, but very rainy month of May this year...

Tkanks for the super info Luis, you're right looks like ( it's maybe a twave) as surface observations show weak cyclonic shift invicinity of the trough...Whereas conditions are improving steadily here and that's the good news, the night was calm no rain

No significant rain here in almost 12 months. Haven't seen it this dry in my life time--even all the ponds are bone-dry. Praying to get some rain out of this.

[Gustywind]

Waouw very very moist conditions here in Guadeloupe... The sky is dark grey overcast in one word it's a bit SAD!...and menacing, numerous light to moderate showers have been persistent all the day. May seems very rainy for the moment, amounts of water in excess if this trend continues. Hey Huc what's the weather like in Basse-Terre? and for all the Windwards and Leewards islanders ?

[bahamaswx]

So much for getting rain from this.
