Puerto Rico sits out here in the middle of Hurricane Alley.
We act as an early warning system for the States.

Usually, if we get something bad, it will grow in size
and smash into north America as a major hurricane.

Today we are getting pounded by yet another "bad thing".

Black-grey/green angry sky, rain coming down in sheets
at 30 mph, massive thunder boomers and lightning.
A few small tornadoes reported. More local flooding
warnings on the TV. Our electric power comes and goes in spurts.

Keep on the look out !!

A very active season so far.

regards and stay safe,

& its name is?
 
No name. It was tropical 'event' investigation #91. Never developed into anything much. The last track forecast was 2pm Friday, forecasted to hit south Florida Monday afternoon.

There have been quite a few tropical waves coming across as is typical for this time of year. This one just didn't quite mature into anything "organized", at least not yet.

Hey Scott !!

That's an interesting weather graphic.
I use NOAA marine weather graphics for
my boating planning and safety.

Where inside NOAA can I get to the graphic
you posted? It has better combined info than
mine.

Thanks,

Dale
 
Dale - that's the image they run on the HF marine wxfax (wefax, whatever they call it). The direct link to the latest chart is
https://weather.noaa.gov/pub/fax/PWEE92.gif

Here's what they're saying about your weather:

...A TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG
67W/68W FROM WESTERN PUERTO RICO SOUTHWARD. STRONG SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING IN WESTERN PUERTO RICO. ISOLATED
MODERATE SHOWERS ARE ELSEWHERE FROM 15N TO 20N BETWEEN 64W AND
72W INCLUDING IN THE EASTERN HALF OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
 
That's typical for this time of year Don. Every few days there's a wave coming across. Sometimes they do something, sometimes not. I constantly have to explain to customers that Florida, the islands, etc, do <span style="font-style: italic">not</span> have incredibly clear blue skies like the photoshopped post-card pictures have.
