251 PM AST FRI MAR 19 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
MID TO UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED ACROSS
THE REGION AND CONTINUE TO BE THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE ACROSS
THE NORTHEAST CARIBBEAN THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AND AT LEAST UNTIL
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...BEFORE AN UPPER TROUGH BECOMES AMPLIFIED
ACROSS THE WEST ATLANTIC AND BEGINS TO ERODE THE MID TO UPPER
RIDGE. UNTIL THEN OVERALL DRY AND SUBSIDENT AIR MASS WILL PREVAIL.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE EASTERN ATLANTIC WILL CONTINUE TO
BUILD AND SINK SOUTHWARDS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST CARIBBEAN TO INCREASE
THE EASTERLY TRADE WIND FLOW ACROSS REGION. THIS WILL AID IN MAINTAINING
THE DRY AND STABLE CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION...AS THE SAHARAN AIR
LAYER WILL SPREAD FURTHER WESTWARDS TOWARDS THE LESSER ANTILLES AS
ALREADY INDICATED ON LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE...AND STRONG SUBSIDENCE ACROSS THE REGION
WILL MAINTAIN A SOLID CAP AND LIMIT SHOWER DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS. HOWEVER...THE PREVAILING SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL WIND
FLOW WILL CREATE RELATIVELY HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH MUCH OF
THE WEEKEND. THE STRONG CAP/INVERSION ACROSS THE REGION WILL ALSO
HELP CREATE SOMEWHAT HAZY CONDITIONS AS A COMBINATION OF LOCAL
AEROSOLS/FINE PARTICULATES OF SULPHATES AND DUST WILL BE TRAPPED
IN THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE ATMOSPHERE...AND THEREFORE REMAIN STAGNATED
ACROSS THE ISLANDS. THEREAFTER... EXPECT A GRADUAL SHIFT AND INCREASE
IN THE EASTERLY TRADE WINDS BY SUNDAY AND INTO THE EARLY PARTS OF
NEXT WEEK...AS THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ACROSS THE
REGION. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUED TO SUGGEST...NO SIGNIFICANT
WEATHER FEATURE IN SIGHT AT LEAST THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
THEREFORE...WILL MAINTAIN A MOSTLY DRY WEATHER PATTERN UNTIL THEN...
WHEN AN INDUCED SURFACE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY FILTER IN PATCHES
OF LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION. FOR NOW...EXPECT VERY LITTLE
RAINFALL IF ANY FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD WITH ONLY INFREQUENT
PATCHES OF SHALLOW TRADE WIND MOISTURE AND PASSING SHOWERS EXPECTED
AFFECT THE REGIONAL WATERS AND REACH PARTS OF THE ISLANDS FROM TIME
TO TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE TO PREVAIL ACROSS ALL
LOCAL TAF SITES FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE SOUTHEAST
AT LOWER LEVELS UNTIL 21/06Z. LIGHT ASH EMISSIONS WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW
NORTHWEST A SHORT DISTANCE FROM MONTSERRAT PILOT REPORTS ARE ENCOURAGED.

&&

.CLIMATE...THE AFTERNOON MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE AT THE LUIS MUNOZ MARIN
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN SAN JUAN REACHED 92 DEGREES TODAY...WHICH WAS
4 DEGREES BELOW THE RECORD OF 96 DEGREES SET IN 1983. HOWEVER EXPECT
UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE ISLANDS OVER THE
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...ACROSS THE REGIONAL WATERS...MARINERS SHOULD EXPECT WINDS
OF 18 KNOTS OR LESS AND SEAS OF 6 FEET OR LESS THROUGH MUCH OF THE
WEEKEND. SMALL CRAFTS ARE URGED TO EXERCISE CAUTION ACROSS THE
LOCAL OFFSHORE ATLANTIC WATERS.

The SNET hase issued a special advisory because of dangerous swells in El Salvador coasts, the event is expected to begin on Monday and last through Tuesday. The translation of the text:

Description:
Extra-tropical storms in south Pacific ocean, between Oceania and South America, will produce an increase in the speed and height of the waves in the salvadoran coast.

Forecast:
On Monday and Tuesday swells with a speed of 50-60 km/h (31-38 mph) and heights between 1.1-1.6 m (3.6-5.2 ft) are expected, maximum heights up to 2.1 m (6.9 ft) cannot be ruled out.


And here you have the expected height (in meters) on Tuesday March 23.


I got the info from the SNET site: http://www.snet.gob.sv/ver/oceanografia/pronostico/oleaje/semanal/

After a small break... the pretty severe drought has reampliflied the last 5 days . Moreover, I have at least 2 wateroutages per day ! Seems that the dry conditions should continued during the next couple of days, not good news for us in the carib islands as our neighbours in the Lesser Antilles. Temperatures are very very hot for March in many islands it's worrying and a difficult situation... Let's hope once again some water from the twaves etc.

.SYNOPSIS...OVERALL DRY AND SUBSIDENT AIR MASS WILL PREVAIL AS
A SUBTROPICAL HIGH IS EXPECTED TO DOMINATE THE REGION WELL INTO
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...THE DOPPLER RADAR IS SHOWING A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS
MOVING ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS TODAY WITH SOME AFFECTING THE
ISLAND OF ST THOMAS AND SURROUNDING WATERS. MOST OF THIS SHOWERS
ARE QUICK AND LIGHT THEREFORE NO SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS
HAVE BEEN REPORTED. ALTHOUGH LIMITED SHOWER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
TODAY...A FEW SHOWERS COULD DEVELOP ALONG THE WEST AND NORTHWEST
PORTIONS OF PUERTO RICO.

THIS DRY WEATHER PATTERN WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SUNDAY BUT ON MONDAY
A HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE REGION TIGHTENING THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA...GENERATING A WIND
SURGE BETWEEN LATE MONDAY AND EARLY TUESDAY. THIS WILL INCREASE
THE SHOWER COVERAGE MAINLY ACROSS THE LOCAL ISLANDS AND THE
EASTERN PORTIONS OF PUERTO RICO. LATEST MODEL RUNS SUGGEST THAT
THE FRONT THAT WAS EXPECTED TO REACH OUR LOCAL AREA BETWEEN
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL STALL NORTH OF PUERTO RICO AND BECOME
MORE WEAK THEREFORE NOT MUCH SHOWER ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED FROM THIS
WEATHER FEATURE.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS ALL THE LOCAL TAF
SITES FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WINDS WILL BE EAST SOUTHEASTERLY AT 10
TO 15 KTS TODAY...WITH LOCALLY TERRAIN AND SEA BREEZE INDUCED
VARIATIONS.

&&

.MARINE...THE NORTHERN SWELL WILL QUICKLY SUBSIDE TODAY. SEAS
WILL REMAIN BETWEEN 3 TO 5 FEET AND WINDS WILL BE AROUND 15 KNOTS
THROUGH AT LEAST SUNDAY NIGHT. A HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS
THE LOCAL WATERS TIGHTENING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION
THEREFORE GENERATING BREEZY AND CHOPPY SEAS CONDITIONS THROUGH AT
LEAST WEDNESDAY.

&&

.CLIMATE...THE TEMPERATURE REACHED 92 DEGREES AT THE LUIS MUNOZ
MARIN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN SAN JUAN YESTERDAY. THIS WAS THE 5TH
92 DEGREE READING OF THE MONTH...AND 12TH TIME THE TEMPERATURE HAS
REACHED OR SURPASSED 90 DEGREES SO FAR THIS YEAR. BY COMPARISON...IT
WAS NOT UNTIL JUNE 25TH LAST YEAR UNTIL WE SAW AS MANY 90 DEGREE
READINGS IN SAN JUAN. THROUGH MARCH 19TH...THE AVERAGE DAILY
TEMPERATURE IN SAN JUAN IS RUNNING 2.3 DEGREES ABOVE THE 30 YEAR
AVERAGE.

311 PM AST SAT MAR 20 2010

.SYNOPSIS...AT UPPER LEVELS...HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE
CARIBBEAN AND NORTHERN SOUTH AMERICA THROUGH THE PERIOD.

AT MID LEVELS...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MID TROPICAL ATLANTIC
MIGRATES SLOWLY OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEK TO THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN.

AT LOWER LEVELS...FLOW AROUND THE HIGH PRESSURE MOVING TOWARD THE
CENTRAL ATLANTIC WILL PUSH AN OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER CUBA
FURTHER NORTH. MOSTLY DRY AIR CONTINUES OVER THE AREA AND WILL DO
SO THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A FEW PATCHES OF MOISTURE WILL CROSS
THROUGH PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS MONDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...ISOLATED SHOWERS FORMED OVER PUERTO RICO AND MAY
HAVE LEFT AMOUNTS GREATER THAN 1 INCH IN NORTHWEST SAN SEBASTIAN
AND LESSER AMOUNTS OVER VIEQUES. OTHERWISE SKIES HAVE BEEN MOSTLY
CLEAR. SOUTHEAST FLOW HAS CONTRIBUTED TO VERY WARM TEMPERATURES IN
NORTHERN PUERTO RICO AND THE SAN JUAN METRO AREA-- TIED SO FAR
WITH THE RECORD OF 92 DEGREES. ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE
DECREASING A LITTLE...ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE FORESEEN FOR
AT LEAST THE NEXT 5 TO 7 DAYS. IN ADDITION CONSIDERABLE AFRICAN
DUST CAN BE SEEN JUST OFF THE AFRICAN COAST...AND ALTHOUGH THE
DUST APPEARS TO ATTENUATE CONSIDERABLY AS IT CROSSES THE
ATLANTIC...IT WILL STILL AFFECT THE LOCAL AREA AND PRODUCE MILDLY
HAZY SKIES FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. VISIBILITIES...HOWEVER...SHOULD
STILL REMAIN ABOVE 10 MILES. UPPER LEVEL FLOW REMAINS WESTERLY
WITH NO STRONG FEATURES COMING THROUGH TO AID MOISTURE PATCHES IN
THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

THE USGS WEB SITE CONFIRMED AN EARTHQUAKE THAT WAS REPORTED AS
BEING FELT IN SOUTHERN PUERTO RICO. THE EPICENTER WAS IN CUBA WITH
A PRELIMINARY MAGNITUDE OF 5.6.

.AVIATION...
EXPECT PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE
LOCAL ISLANDS AND AT ALL LOCAL TAF SITES FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 24
HOURS. VERY FAINT ASH AND STEAM EMISSIONS FROM MONTSERRAT CAN
OCCASIONALLY BE SEEN ON LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND THIS
SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE MAINLY NORTHWEST TONIGHT...BUT IS NOT
EXPECTED TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE LOCAL TAF SITES.

&&

.MARINE...NO SIGNIFICANT SWELL EVENTS ARE EXPECTED IN THE NEXT 7
DAYS...BUT MODELS SHOW SOME WIND WAVES BUILDING IN THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY.

Oh yeah? thanks for these infos Cycloneye and glad to see that all is ok en la linda tierra del encanto PR. Nothing here to report in terms of aftershocks, except the extremely severe drought!!! Since yesterday i have at least 4 wateroutages per day it's very problematic in my location of Baie-Mahault. I'm forced to buy packs of water everyday or daily, it's a upseting but we try to be very calm as usual.
Things are deteoriorating in Guadeloupe:all is dry and it's an euphemisma!!!
Hope for a serious rain event this month but March is the driest month of the year in our area, so let's keep our fingers crossed... once again.
