People of Paradise,
We agree with [ref: NHC] as follows:
...TROPICAL WAVES...
TROPICAL WAVE EXTENDS FROM 11N59W TO 6N60W MOVING WNW NEAR 15 KT. THE WAVE REMAINS LOW-AMPLITUDE AND HAS LARGELY BEEN EMBEDDED WITHIN THE ITCZ TRACKING WESTWARD DURING THE PAST FEW DAYS. TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY INDICATES THE WAVE IS WITHIN AN AREA OF ENHANCED MOISTURE THAT SPREADS EASTWARD NEAR THE ITCZ REGION DUE TO FLOW AROUND THE BASE OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. SCATTERED MODERATE/STRONG CONVECTION IS INLAND FROM 5N-9N BETWEEN 60W-65W.
SCATTERED MODERATE/ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION IS EAST OF THE WAVE FROM 9N-12N BETWEEN 47W-59W. IT IS ANTICIPATED THE WAVE WILL TRACK W-NW OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS TOWARDS THE SE CARIBBEAN SEA AND ABC ISLANDS.
The photo attached says midnight but it's really 8:00 p.m. T&T time.
To whom much is given, much is asked, so; Pray, Plan, Prepare and Procure
On a daily basis as 2nd Nature, God Bless Attachment:

Trinidad and Tobago 16/6/13 5:10 pm Good Afternoon to all members of StormCarib. Well here in Trinidad we had great weather conditions. This morning here in San Juan we had a little shower to start off the day before 6am. This to me was a little blessing in store for father's day. Other than that little shower we had wonderful conditions. Sunny weather for everyone to be out doors or just to stay home to relax on this Sunday. Hope all you fathers take advantage of this weather. Looking at tonight's weather we see Trinidad and most of the Caribbean will be under settle conditions with a slim chance of a night time shower. :) Happy Father's Day to all. ^_^ Stephen Abouhamad

Here in San Fernando, the bright and sunny start to our day was just a teaser - it has rained, sometimes very heavily - all through the day, with dull, dry patches between the showers. We have just had a brief shower but I suspect that there is a lot of rain in store for us tonight. The satellite picture seems to bear me out on that. Oddly enough, the north east (Toco) has not experienced this type of weather today at all. It has been dry and sunny and lots of people were at the beaches along that coastline today. I am told that Balandra was particularly lovely for swimming this afternoon. |

Hi folks,
I really was hoping not to count this year. However, seeing our fellow-storm-chasers killed by a tornado in USA. one has to keep the candle burning. Lord have pity on us!
Part IV is at a really very delicate stage at 40 W. It is delicate for a lot of reasons. Then after the actual Part IV, it is the signal of what the others will do? Seeing that it falls Saturday night maybe even Friday afternoon, we will give our take;
Winds 25 - 35 mph (but highly localised and scattered). Definite street flooding. 3 - 7 ft. Swells. To whom much is given, much is asked? God bless |

Information Bulletin from the T and T Met Office being issued at this time.....
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSHOWERS OVER TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO FOR THE NEXT 4 - 6 HOURS
Rainfall activity over Trinidad and particularly Tobago, associated
with the passage of a Tropical Wave, is expected to sharpened over the
next 4 - 6 hours in the form of moderate, and at times heavy, showers
and thundershowers.
Given recent rainfall events and the small
time frames between events, moderate and possibly severe episodes of
street/flash flooding as well as landslips/landslides are highly likely
especially along the hills of the Northern Range, Trinidad and the Main
Ridge of Tobago. Rivers of moderate carrying capacities may become
inundated.
Rainfall accumulations of between 25 - 40
millimeters and gusty winds in excess of 45 km/hr are possible from this
anticipated event.
Citizens are advised to be vigilant and cautious as they conduct their activities.
WE WISH TO UNDERSCORE THAT AT THIS TIME TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO IS NOT UNDER ANY TROPICAL STORM THREAT, WATCH OR WARNING.
The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Services is closely monitoring
this weather situation and will issue another bulletin if the situation
warrants.
Have a good afternoon all Katy |

Information Bulletin Being Issued at this time......
CONTINUED RAINFALL OVER TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
Over the past two days, both Trinidad and Tobago have been experiencing
periods of rain and showers, some of which have been moderate to heavy
and at times thundery. This rainfall activity is due to the presence of a
low-level trough and favorable upper-level winds.
Intermittent rain and showers, some heavy and thundery, are forecast to continue for the remainder of the day.
Over the last 24 - 36 hours stations at Piarco and Crown-Point have
each recorded in excess of 30mm of rain. Noting this amount of rainfall,
and additional accumulations of 15 - 20mm forecasted for today, there
is a high possibility that major rivers could become inundated.
Moderate, and possibly severe, cases of street and flash flooding as
well as landslides/landslips are likely in the vicinity of prolonged
rainfall or heavy downpours. Gusty winds in excess of 45 km/hr at times
are also likely.
Citizens are advised to be vigilant and cautious as they conduct their activities.
WE WISH TO UNDERSCORE THAT AT THIS TIME TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO IS NOT UNDER ANY TROPICAL STORM THREAT, WATCH OR WARNING.
The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service is closely monitoring
this weather situation and will issue another bulletin if the situation
warrants.
Have a good day all! Katy |

Solemn Memorial Day to All Veterans and Service-Men"You gave your all!" God go with you, .... Unless the 'acknowledged' system exiting the African coast does not feed up on all the moisture preceding it. One can guesstimate that there is a 40% favorable to 60% unfavorable chance that at least T'dad & T'bgo will have as much as 4 more days of overcast moisture.
BROAD SURFACE ANTICYCLONIC WIND FLOW IS TO THE NORTH
OF 10N BETWEEN AFRICA AND 60W. [ref: NHC]
Seas (Heat and pressure)are also starting to do their thing, ....
PLEASE READ THE HIGH SEAS FORECAST...MIAHSFAT2...
FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE 20 KNOTS OR LESS WINDS AND
9 FOOT SEA HEIGHTS IN THE AREA THAT IS BOUNDED BY
18N60W 10N60W 10N51W 18N60W. THE 48-HOUR FORECAST
INDICATES 20 KNOT WINDS OR LESS AND SEA HEIGHTS REACHING
8 FEET FROM 8N TO 12N BETWEEN 43W AND 53W. So far all we have are occasional heavy showers, once in a blue moon 25 mph. gusts, and after-effect standing water. The problem is just now that may be whole day, everyday.

Morning All,
Looks like its going to be another day of umbrellas and kagools. Since early this morning its been squally, with showers and gusts. The ODPMTT is forecasting that street and flash flooding may occur in heavy showers and thunder showers. We've got some standing water outside the shop but not much and it is draining away.
There's no swell. Wind Guru is forecasting gusts of up to 22knt today, direction E to ESE. Wave directions remains a steady ENE and up to two meters in height.
Have a good day all - off to make a cup of tea!

Well Folks,
We don't know what got lost in the wire? But from quarter to seven yesterday, Saturday morning, we had occasional heavy rain generally.
That was before what was described as a tropical wave earlier reached our southern shores (instant). For some reason it's no longer described as a tropical wave, There are hardly any satellite or hard evidence to corroborate.
Nobody, we mean nobody is aware that the blob has reached. God bless |

- Rainy Season has arrived!

Official Statement from the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Office: 2013 Rainy Season is here
The
arrival of the first rain-producing Tropical Wave for 2013 last night
(Sunday, 19 May, 2013) heralds the beginning of the 2013 rainy season.
Given our weather-related history it has occurred just on time. This
signals for Trinidad and Tobago a consistent intervention of Tropical
Waves and the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) into our weather
over the next seven (7) months. In essence, expect to see more episodes
of rain in the coming months than the daily bouts of sunshine we have
been experiencing.
Preliminary analysis indicates this
year's rainy season should be very productive - more so than is usual.
Over the years, the months of June, July and August have been coincident
with the period our country has received the most amount of rainfall
with July in particular standing above the others. There is no reason to
believe that the 2013 rainy season will play out otherwise. At
present, the quick succession of Tropical Waves is not firmly
established. So, there may be a reprieve following the passage of this
wave. The stay, however, will be short-lived especially with the
expected start of the Tropical Atlantic Hurricane Season on 01 June,
2013. This year the season is forecast to be a very active one with the
formation of 18 named Storms, 9 Hurricanes and 4 Major Hurricanes
(Categories 3 and above). Historically, the averages for named Storms,
Hurricanes and Major Hurricanes are 12, 7 and 2 respectively. Therefore, the overall picture weather-wise calls for a prepared public. The
Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service will continue to do its part
in terms of early warning. In this regard, pay attention to the daily
weather forecasts and updates. These are released 6:00am, 10:00am,
3:00pm and 6:00pm. Each forecast updates the previous. For cases of expected moderate to severe weather impacts, Information or Severe Weather Bulletins will be released accordingly. Riverine
Flood Bulletins will be issued whenever river levels, given current and
expected rainfall, threaten to defeat maximum carrying capacities. Finally,
Tropical Storm/Hurricane Watch/Warnings will be issued whenever the
effects of these systems are expected to be felt by this country in
36/48 hours. Enjoy your day all Katy |

2013 - 05 - 17th. Fri.
T'dad & T'bgo, W.I. People of Paradise, What seems to be the first potential to become a depression after exiting the Caribbean Basin, should affect the islands south of St. Lucia as early as this morning. Definitely in 16 - 24 hrs. some hazardous weather that has the potential to last 3 days will impact the Lesser Antilles.
One can note that the word 'Hazard' or 'Hazardous', does not affect you if, even after impact, you don't allow 'it' to affect you! One can do this by praying, planning, preparing and procuring the necessities for survival. An on-going recurrence, even on a normal day (without paranoia).
By the way, this leads me to offer that mangoes are the 'best' colon cleansers and that fruit salad with mangoes will help even a chocolate lover lose weight. (tee hee).(And talk about clear skin!!).
A little birdie tells me we'll all be writing again soon, ....

2013 - 05 - 08th. Wed.
Petit Val'y, D'go Martin, T'dad & T'bgo, W.I. Happy Mother's Day (in advance), People of Paradise,
We would like to thank, Almighty God, that when the first system to pull north of the equator and the ITCZ skirted the north coast of South America, all T'dad & T'bgo had were isolated drizzles. Overcast and even white-out but Localized drizzles.
The rest, after breaking wind-shear off Colombia is out of our purview. But we will add three comments. Our closeness to Belize and its concerns can be under-played as Trinidadians (at UWI / Cricket / Sports / Dialect and Accent / Closeness to Spanish-speaking neighbours / etc.) Not to mention those in oil and industrial-training.
Sympathy to our Dutch neighbours who experienced a violent loss. Wind-shear has ramped up. Early or not it is very welcome. T'dad & T'bgo will do well to observe the next system two to three days away. As it is more south than the first one.
God bless |

Petit Valley, Diego Martin, T'dad & T'bgo, W.I. Good Day, Good Night, Good everything, People of Paradise,
The Poui and Flambouyant have spread their leaves and flowers and seed in the far and wide buttress pattern along the soils with its first sprinkling of rain. Hard to the touch but softened enough to allow immersion, decay and growth, this Earth will provide Food for the bird and beast, friend and foe, victor and vanquished. Pest and Predator will vie for the crown, which this inert earth will timelessly witness.
 But back to the tropical conditions right now, .... We can expect rain soon. More north this time than last time. And sad to say for those not prepared, there seems to be a 35 % chance the first Tropical Wave to reach the entire Caribbean will be here in 07 days.
God bless |
