Bump -- well, at this rate, one way or another, I guess we'll find out what it is... even if it's just by watching it! ;)

I am no meteorolog, but this is nonsense. The thunderstorms start way too far soutwest from PR for that to be true.

Have a look at the long range radar from San Juan. It almost looks like there is a countervortex (clockwise) rotating just north of St. Thomas.


Yeah I guess, originally it looked like it had something to due with Puerto Rico, and maybe to a minor degree it does, but there is still some intense convection firing south of PR. Hopefully somebody can help out here.

Seems to be very wierd storm movement on the radar, some must be developing in a steering layer that is helping them move in a WNW or NW movement, others seem to be moving in a ENE or NE direction.
