| - Sunday afternoon report |
|
All in all, forecast seen to have fallen flat on it's face. SJ WB reports only .35" rain during last 24 hours. Ponce, on Puerto Rico's southern coast, reported 17 mph winds, gusting to 23 mph. Mayagüez, on Puerto Rico's western coast, 22 mph winds. Both reports at 4:00 pm AST (20:00 GMT), rain reports from last 2 locations are described as heavy rain, no accumulation reported. Flash flood warnings are in effect for all of Puerto Rico until 8:00 pm AST (00:00 GMT). I wouldn't be surprised if it is extended. The short term forecast indicated that gusts of 40 mph may be felt. Tonight's forecast is for 50% rain. A colleague's observation station reported 1/2" rain today, and 8.3 mpg gusts at noon. This is in Río Piedras, a scant 3 miles from my post. My old finger method would suggest slightly stronger winds, but just slightly. I have been hearing thunder, all afternoon. Minor landfalls are reported in Guayanilla, Yauco and Cayey. Shelters remain closed, although additional rain tonight might change this. I would venture to guess that Puerto Rico was caught between 2 rain bands, one to the north and the other to the south, as per IF satellite imaginary. Apparently we were spared the brunt of the fringes what was TD 10. Authorities are warning that more rain could cause flooding, as terrain is saturated. I'd venture to guess that some people will sleep with a eye open, just in case. If anything, the "rain" is a good excuse for a shrimp "asopao" and "aguacate", tonight. It would appear that the "pronóstico aguacatero" is holding up. We are into mid September, and still have seen no storm activity on this end of the Caribbean. This said, without loosing sight of the wave, 1,500 miles from the Lesser Antilles. It just takes a good one to blow your socks off, (no pun intended).

| - TD Ten's rain over Puerto Rico |
|
It appears that conditions in Puerto Rico are iffy. Rain associated to TD Ten would effect us today and tomorrow. Forecast was downgraded from 100 percent of showers yesterday, to 70 today. We had a few showers last night, nothing to write home about. Official rain is barely 1/4" since midnight. Haven't seen any rain since dawn this morning. Could TD Ten have drained some rain away? A flash flood watch is in effect, maybe not so much due to TD Ten, but due to it AND normal daylight heating. Breeze has picked up since Friday evening, again nothing noteworthy, as yet. Although St. Thomas reported 24 mph and gusts to 38 mph during the night. Forecast warns of 20 mph, gusting to 30 mph. Early morning official wind was 5 mph in San Juan. TV Doppler imaginary showed some rain on Puerto Rico's southern coast and over the mountains, last night; and the NWS Doppler's coverage is clearly defined, not normal in the least. So, the rain appears to be out there, but as of this writing, no reports of flooding. http://www.boriken.com/eltiempo/PagsPrin/dop/dpx6.html Again, not to say that as the day wears on, this could change.

| - Severe Weather |
|
Here in Guaynabo I have measured near 2 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. However, other parts of Puerto Rico had recieved near 5 or more inches of rain. We have also experience lots of lightning and severe weather in almost all the municipalities of the island since yesterday. This stormy weather is associated with a tropical wave that passed through the area. This bad weather is expected to leave us by tomorrow, however, the rest of the week is expected to be rainy. Tropical Storm Dolly continues to make its way to the west at a fast rate. It is expected to recurve to the northwest tomorrow due to the trough that is forecast to be north of the system. There is also another tropical wave that is emerging from the coast of Africa. This wave looks pretty descent at the moment, and could have further development as it moves westward.
