Re: Caribbean - CA - Watching rain event in Eastern Caribbean
Thanks Gusty
We're Ok.
that "little" shower dumped about 1/2 inch of rain on us though in one half hour.
By my rough calculations with my little unreliable rain gauge we have now had over 4 inches of rain since Sunday night

Re: Caribbean - CA - Watching rain event in Eastern Caribbean
It's raining... a lot. We are under a FF-WARNING. The radar doesn't seem to be measuring most of it, and I don't have a gage, but I'm sure we've had an inch CONSERVATIVELY since about 8am, and two inches would not surprise me at all. At least for the moment my power is on. It's only been off 1 time so far today.... (knock wood). The daily multiple power outages (3 times yesterday, over 4 hours) have nothing to do with weather.
Winds haven't been too bad here, but I'm protected from S/SW/SE and once they come around to E/NE/N I'll feel it. I'm sure some flooding has occurred, or some rocks have slid, hopefully no one hurt.
Stay safe and dry, my neighbors!

Re: Caribbean - CA - Watching rain event in Eastern Caribbean
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
423 PM AST TUE OCT 5 2010
.SYNOPSIS...A BROAD AND ELONGATED AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED
ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA...WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY NORTHWEST
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL BECOME
LOCATED JUST WEST OF THE LOCAL ISLANDS. THESE TWO FEATURES WILL
COMBINE WITH A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS AND LOCAL
EFFECTS...TO PRODUCE PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE LOCAL ISLANDS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
&&
.DISCUSSION...CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT LIMITED
AGAIN OVER ROUGHLY THE EASTERN ONE-THIRD OF PUERTO RICO...DUE TO
SUBSIDENCE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE WEAKENING TUTT LOW. HOWEVER...
OVER THE WESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF PUERTO RICO...SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED FROM MAINLY DIURNAL PROCESSES WHILE BANDS
AND CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUED TO LIFT
NORTHEAST IN BROAD SOUTHWEST FLOW AND AFFECTED CULEBRA AND
VIEQUES...THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.
FOR TONIGHT...EXPECT A GRADUAL DIMINISHING OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF PUERTO RICO...BUT
EXPECT SEVERAL CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP
OVER THE CARIBBEAN AND LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS CULEBRA AND VIEQUES
AND THE EASTERN THIRD OF PUERTO RICO...AND THEN EVENTUALLY
ENCOMPASS THE EASTERN THIRD OF PUERTO RICO. EXPECT ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP FOR WEDNESDAY...WITH A
SIMILAR AREAL SET-UP TO WHAT OCCURRED TODAY.
EXPECT THIS UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN...WITH AN OCTOBER MONSOONAL
TYPE FLOW ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN...TO RESULT IN PERIODS OF ACTIVE
WEATHER ACROSS THE LOCAL ISLANDS FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND
PROBABLY SATURDAY ALSO.
AS MENTIONED YESTERDAY...PREVIOUS SYNOPTIC PATTERNS LIKE THIS ONE
HAVE YIELDED SIGNIFICANT PERIODS OF ACTIVE WEATHER...WITH HEAVY
RAINFALL...AREAS OF FLASH AND RIVER FLOODING...AND MUDSLIDES...AND
GIVEN EXPECTED WEATHER AND ANTECEDENT GROUND AND RIVER
CONDITIONS...BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE THE CASE. IT
SHOULD BE NOTED THOUGH...THAT ALTHOUGH ACTIVE WEATHER IS
EXPECTED...IT WILL LIKELY NOT BE RAINING ALL THE TIME. THUS...
STILL EXPECT HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL TO
CONTINUE AND HAVE LEFT THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN PLACE.
ADDITIONALLY...WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR SOUTH AND
SOUTHWEST FACING COASTAL AREAS...AS ATYPICAL SOUTH SOUTHWEST TO
SOUTHWEST SURFACE WIND FLOW WILL CONTINUE PROBABLY THROUGH AT
LEAST FRIDAY...AND THIS COULD EVENTUALLY RESULT IN COASTAL
PROBLEMS ALONG SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST FACING COASTAL AREAS...SUCH AS
FREDERICKSTED AND LIME TREE BAY IN ST CROIX.
&&
.AVIATION...TEMPORARY MVFR OR EVEN BRIEF IFR CONDS ARE POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE VI...TJSJ...TNCM...AND TKPK AT LEAST THROUGH 06/00Z IN A
PASSING SHRA OR TSRA. AFT 06/00Z...MVFR CONDS WILL BE POSSIBLE MOST
OF THE TAF SITES...AS SHRA/ISOLD TSRA ASSOCIATED WITH AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE SPREAD NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE LOCAL ISLANDS. PREVAILING
SOUTHWESTERLY LVL WIND FLOW OF 15 TO 25 KTS EXPECTED...WITH GUSTS TO
35 KTS NEAR +TSRAS AND +SHRAS.
&&
.MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES GOING INTO EFFECT FOR SEVERAL
ZONES THIS EVENING...DUE TO FRESH TO STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS AND
ROUGH SEAS. PLEASE REFER TO THE UPCOMING SJUCWFSJU FOR THE LATEST
FORECAST DETAILS.
&&
.PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Re: Caribbean - CA - Watching rain event in Eastern Caribbean
Stay safe, Barbara!
We are getting it too. Just had bad squall with 35+kt sustained wind for a while, horizontal rain, my closed windows were rattling. The rain has quit now, but wind still gusting fairly strong. This is the first real wind today at my house. Our Flash Flood WARNING has been extended until 10pm. Word on the boards is the ghuts are full, someone said "as deep as any river". That means flat areas and some critical roads are flooded. I'm expecting the power to go any minute, already out in other areas. Just off phone with a rain expert (his gage lost in Earl, but he's good at estimating), he said we've had AT LEAST 3" today.

Re: Caribbean - CA - Watching rain event in Eastern Caribbean
you be careful too, bvigal.
this is only going to get worse until it safely passes us. we have flooded roads and overflowing ghuts too.
At mid day it looked for awhile like it was clearing up here, but then all of a sudden the heavy rains started again.
Right now it has let up, but that's the way this thing has been going. Very heavy storms, then it stops for awhile in between, and then you get zapped again.
hope your power stays on
