Hi. 92L is SSW of Jamaica and is moving slowly WNW so expect more rain until it moves out of your area. Stay safe and dry.

Just a quick update. The rain has been very heavy all day from about 3pm most of the street lights near my office came on it was so dark. It's still pouring now I suspect by morning there may be flooding reports.

Hi. Thanks for that precious report from your beautiful island of Jamaica. Be aware and continue to keep us informed.

I'll definitely do that

Thanks to you ! We appreciate sincerely, us who live in the Windwards/ Leewards islands included PR [/quote]

Thank you too for your interest and concern.

[Gustywind]

No problem, it's the caribbean family . You will always find a member of the family to keep you informed as many like me or Cycloneye..., Abajan, Msbee, and the others. Maybe i forgot the others as they're ... los talentos de la casa

By the way, continue to be very prudent and aware. Looks like, very strong showers and tstorms are abatting in your island. Be on your guard and tuned. We will continue to read you carefully.

.UPDATE...STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINED ANCHORED ACROSS
THE NORTH CENTRAL ATLANTIC. THIS WILL MAINTAIN MODERATE EASTERLY
TRADES ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. LATEST
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED AN AREA OF LOW TO MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS
ACCOMPANYING A WEAK TROPICAL WAVE NOW MOVING ACROSS THE LOCAL
WATERS. THIS IN COMBINATION WITH A LINGERING UPPER TROUGH ACROSS
THE NORTHEASTERN CARIBBEAN...WILL ENHANCE SHOWERS AND PRODUCE
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE REGIONAL WATERS DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ONLY MINOR MODIFICATIONS MADE TO THE SHORT
TERM FORECAST...BASED ON THE PRESENT WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THAT
EXPECTED FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ON WEDNESDAY EXPECT SUFFICIENT
MOISTURE AVAILABLE TO COMBINE WITH LOCAL AND DIURNAL EFFECT AS WELL
AS THE PROXIMITY OF THE UPPER TROUGH...TO ENHANCE AFTERNOON CONVECTION
MAINLY ACROSS PARTS OF THE WEST INTERIOR SECTIONS OF PUERTO RICO.
ELSEWHERE...PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHOWERS
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE.

Thanks guys and I will try and post more. I'm on all the time but mostl just read all the posts and not post anything myself.

that reminds me the my debuts here, as time goes by you will be the first to post everyday and keep informed the others. You have the most exciting board here . Our thread is very informative but thanks especially to Cycloneye to keep it alive everyday without too much rest. I Wonder where he get all this energy each day... maybe he has the answer, wil he give us the secret ?

SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE COULD BE
FORMING BETWEEN THE NORTHEASTERN TIP OF HONDURAS AND THE CAYMAN
ISLANDS WHERE THE SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS BECOME CONCENTRATED DURING THE
PAST SEVERAL HOURS. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS DISTURBANCE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...AS
IT MOVES NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH TOWARD THE YUCATAN PENINSULA
AND SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE...50
PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48
HOURS...AND A HIGH CHANCE...60 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 5 DAYS. INTERESTS IN THE YUCATAN PENINSULA
AND THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS
DISTURBANCE.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
LOCATED A FEW HUNDRED MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS
CONTINUE TO SHOW SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
ARE CONDUCIVE FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS...AND THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH CHANCE...60 PERCENT...OF BECOMING
A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. AFTER THAT TIME...THE

Conditions in Kingston are much improved this morning. Still slightly overcast but no rain. I'm not sure about elsewhere on the island though.

Glad to read you and see your posts . We hope sincerely that things will improve quickly in your area. Continue to keep us informed as possible .

Here are the discussions concerning the two suspects areas we're following.
The first one is 93L just South of the CV islands, the second is 92L near Cuba but bringing wet weather conditions in vicinity of Jamaica.

CYCLONIC CURVATURE COVERS THE AREA WITH CLUSTERS OF SCATTERED
MODERATE/ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION FROM 10N-15N BETWEEN 18W-
27W. THIS SYSTEM HAS BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED DURING THE PAST FEW
HOURS. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR CONDUCIVE FOR ADDITIONAL

HOURS. AFTER THAT TIME IT WILL BE MOVING TOWARD A LESS FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT...WHICH COULD LIMIT DEVELOPMENT. THIS SYSTEM HAS A
HIGH CHANCE OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 5
