It's "Discover Day" Holiday here in the
Cayman Islands and it is Rain, Rain and more Rain. Today is
certainly a day for ducks.
The rain began at around 4:30am and except for some breaks with
light drizzle, it has rained all day. As I write a squall has
dumped a further 1.5" bringing the total rainfall to 6.75" (my
station) and it continues. In the storm this morning at
8:30, my station recorded a wind gust of 31mph.
Flooding is occurring in low lying areas, including my backyard.
Forecast is for continued showers through Wednesday.
Here is the reason for it: NHC report.
THE CARIBBEAN SEA...
BROAD CYCLONIC SURFACE FLOW COVERS THE NW CARIBBEAN AROUND A
SURFACE TROUGH PARALLELING THE YUCATAN PENINSULA ALONG 23N85W TO
15N88W. SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS COVER THE AREA W OF 77W
WITH SOME OF THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY FROM 18N-21N BETWEEN 78W-83W
INCLUDING THE CAYMAN ISLANDS. THIS AREA OF MOISTURE IS EXPECTED
TO DRIFT TOWARDS THE NE...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NW CARIBBEAN INCLUDING CUBA AND
JAMAICA.
Keep Dry!
