Omar did a sneak attack and dipped south at 1 am today when everyone was 
snoozing. I myself got stuck in traffic and was rescued by the RoadWatch aka 
"de wegenwacht". Currently we are clocking windgusts up to 115 Km/h with huge 
sea waves coming in from the south west. Rain accumulationwas measured at 84 mm 
at 730am in Schelpwijk. Rain measurements in other areas will be posted as they 
become known. In Bandariba there is a light downpour and at Banda Bou the rain 
is moderate to heavy. Reports from local fishermen indicate that the piers at 
the hotels have sustained significant damage. 
The pontoon bridge between Punda and Otrobanda has been safely towed into the 
harbour and sustained minimal to no damage. People are asked to remain inside 
as their are many downed powerlines and trees have been uprooted. 


+++++==the NHC forecast is as follows:


At 1100 am AST...1500z...the center of Tropical Storm Omar was located by 
satellite and radar data from Curacao to be near latitude 14.0 
north...longitude 69.0 west or about 355 miles...570 km...south-southwest of 
San Juan Puerto Rico and about 125 miles...200 km...north of Curacao.
 
Omar is moving toward the east-southeast near 2 mph...4 km/hr. A gradual turn 
to the east and then northeast is forecast today...with a slow increase in 
forward speed expected on Wednesday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph...65 km/hr. Gradual strengthening is 
forecast over the next 48 hours.
 
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 70 miles... 110 km...mainly 
east through south of the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb...29.56 inches.
 
Omar may produce total rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches over portions of the 
Netherlands Antilles...with maximum amounts of 12 inches possible.  Rainfall 
amounts of 2 to 4 inches with maximum amounts of 6 inches are possible across 
extreme northwestern and north central Venezuela and the northern Guajira 
Peninsula. These rains could produce life-threatening flash floods and mud 
slides.
 
Repeating the 1100 am AST position...14.0 N...69.0 W.  Movement 
toward...east-southeast near 2 mph.  Maximum sustained winds...40 mph.  Minimum

Hello,

This morning a huge white blob was heading towards Curacao on the radar. Other 
than an early morning shower at 6am we have experienced zero rain and currently 
we have blue skies in some areas and partially clouded blue skies in the 
remainder of the sky above Curacao. The sea is flat and the waves and the wind 
have turned and are coming in to shore from the southwest. The sea level has 
risen 2 feet above normal.

It is a great day for diving at stingray city, the blue room and at mushroom 
forest. For nondivers I recommend relaxing at the beaches of Curacao, hiking at 
Malpais Wildlife Park, moutainbiking at JanThiel, and shopping in downtown at 
Punda and Otrobanda.

The huge blob is still in the area whereas windguru predicted 20mm of rain...we 
only had 0.3 mm so far since 6am.

Regards,

Wendy Martina

but one meter higher than normal. This is good for the baby sea turtles to find 
their way to sea. This morning I saw at Shete Boca 3 nests hatch at 5:30 am and 
the last baby turtle went swimming into the sea at 7:45 am.

Yesterday I find GAbilan di Laman along the water at Westpoint. His left wing 
is not so good now. This morning I wake up to catch fish. The sky was very red 
in the east. This means that there is rain in the air. Now the sky is 
everywhere shinishi. This means the sky has many clouds everywhere so you do 
not see the blue. I caught two fish and that is enough: one for me and one for 
the GAbilan di Laman. The dutchmans call it visarend and Tio Boy says it has 
name of osprey.

SE towards Aruba. They are reading their chart upside down!!!

Hey Dave and Gert...it's tuesday..., cuz I am seeing a sunday report on the

The weather experience currently here in Curacao is a cool breeze, 33 degrees 
celsius, blue skies, and smally choppy waves from the southwest. The sea level

Blue skies, 28 degrees celsius, and great sailing wind from NE. This is a 
welcome change from the hot weather we experienced when Ike was beating his 
chest and huffing and puffing in the Caribbean.

I'm sailing back from Klein Curacao to (big) Curacao, and saw schools of 
dolphins and one humpback whale.

Ranging from severity we ought to give additional descriptive names to the different types of storm surges ranging from "House Wrecker Flood" to "Widow Maker Flood". Maybe in this manner people will take a storm surge serious... Dontcha agree that "storm surge" is a wimpy description that won't motivate people to pack things and head for the hills? Godspeed to all in the Caribbean and to all on the surrounding mainland.

Weather update for Curacao
Latitude: 12° 9'8.93"N
Longitude: 68°53'44.61"W
Report by: Ronald (sunny_skies -at- curacaowildlife.com)

Early this morning Curacao got dumped on by a massive raincloud from an outer 
band of Gustav and during the day everyone on the island got cooked like a pan 
dushi bread in the oven. With no wind in the air the sahara dust had no place 
to go but litterally hang around and as a result the sunheated dust particles 
acted like coal in a closed bbq: the heat was increased tenfold. Today we broke 
the heat record of 33 degrees celsius that was set in 1997!!! My intruments 
recorded temperatures soaring to 34 degrees celsius inland and 31 degrees near 
the shore.  Standing in line at the trafic lights almost caused drivers to 
faint. Breathing hot air through your mouth was unbearable. It felt like being 
in the desert during a sandstorm. Aug, Sept. and October are seasonally the 
hottest months of the year but we never before felt this kind of heat since the 
record temp of 33 in 1997. The sun has set and the temp is 29 degrees, and it 
is dropping slowly...THANK GOD!

Currently I am at Shete Boca (by myself) and I can see lightning offshore in 
the NW. This thunderstorm appears to be moving forward towards Curacao. The 
GOES satellite images however do not show anything NW of Curacao... I hope the 
rain does come this way to drive away the heat.

Ps: kudos to onenet & UTS for wireless internet via laptop.

Hurricane Gustav which is heading away from the ABC islands towards Haiti which is still recovering from the damage done by Fay only 10 days ago.

Today in the am we had some light showers in Curacao, and then the rest of the day a wee bit hot, but sunny skies all day. Because the humidity was near 60 percent all afternoon it did not feel as hot as yesterday.

Currently we are at the southern coastline and about a half hour or so ago we witnessed a horizon wide sized wave of thunderstorms as far as the eye can see racing towards us. The speed at which it took to g et here really took us by surprise. It is not raining in our location but we can see that the inland is being soaked again for the second night in a row... yay...(no seriously, we do need some rain...)

Invest 94 has now become Cat. 1 Hurricane Gustav which is heading away from the ABC islands towards Cuba.


The outer band of Hurricane Gustav continues to affect the weather in Curacao. Wind is turning, coming from south and heading towards North. 

Precipitation has decreased to light rain, thunderstorms have moved offshore and are heading towards Bonaire. Wind speed has dropped to: 7 mph / 11.2 km/h.
Furthermore sea level pressure has increased to 29.83 in / 1010 hPa.

We just registered the 72nd turtle nest during pouring rain...Birdman didn't bring a rainjacket and he's soaked :-)

The thunderstorm ahead of Invest 94 brought heavy rain to Curacao between 1am and 8:30 am. Currently we have blue skies in some parts and partial overcast skies in other parts as we are right in between of the two waves. The center of the next wave - which is called invest 94 - is expected to pass due north of Curacao between 4 and 8 pm local time UTC -4. The first part of the front can be experienced between noon and 1 pm today. Since August and September are the seasonal times of the year for warwaru's (tiny funnel clouds) we should keep our eyes to the sky for the next 30 days, because these warwaru's are so tiny, there is no advance warning possible other than personal observation and subsequent visual monitoring of a dark cloud overhead...

Warwaru's that occur in Curacao are known not to be as severe as the ones you find on the American mainland. Tornadoes - as they are called in the USA - are measured rom category 1 thru 5. The warwaru's in Curacao are in the same strngth measurement about 0.2 tot 0.6, so very weak in comparison to their American counterparts.
Furthermore, the warwaru's in Curacao are very  rare natural events that do not last more than ten minutes after touching ground. Damage to surroundings can vary from toppled trees and unsolid built roofs ripped off houses and garages and cars moved into the neighbor's yard. The warwaru's are fortunately most times not strong enough to suck a vehicle into the air (thank god). Humans on the other hand should take cover and walk into the opposite direction...yes this is a no brainer but during yesterday's warwaru, people ran towards it to see what was going on... It was a miracle that no fool got hurt by swirling debris...

appeared to miss us completely due north.

This update shows a diferent scenario.

Fortunately, no human loss of life. Sadly an entire iguana

This morning around 7 am a rather small rain system rolled over Curacao coming 
in from the SouthEast from Venezuela. Some heave to moderate rain fell in some 
spots in Curacao. There was even a funnel cloud spotted at sea NE of Playa 
Canoa that did not touch the water. If it did it could have become a 
waterspout. Around 8am some light rain touched ground here and there, and a 
half hour later the skies cleared up. Another small wave with lotsa moisture is 
heading towards Curacao, but it is still about 3 to 5 hours away, so anything 
can happen: it can still dissipate or vear off to the north. 

Most funnel clouds near Curacao are observed far offshore and rarely hit land. 
A funnel cloud is a funnel-shaped cloud of condensed water droplets, associated 
with a rotating column of air and extending from the base of a cloud (usually a 
cumulonimbus or towering cumulus cloud) but not reaching the ground or a water 
surface. A funnel cloud is usually visible as a cone-shaped or needle like 
protuberance from the main cloud base. Funnel clouds frequently form in 
association with supercell thunderstorms.

If a funnel cloud touches the ground it becomes a tornado. Most tornadoes begin 
as funnel clouds, but many funnel clouds do not make ground contact and so do 
not become tornadoes. Also, a tornado does not necessarily need to have an 
associated condensation funnel?if strong cyclonic winds are occurring at the 
surface, then the feature is a tornado. Some tornadoes may appear only as a 
debris swirl, with no obvious funnel cloud extending below the rotating cloud 
base.

A funnel cloud that touches down on, or moves over water is a waterspout. 

Most funnel clouds near Curacao are waterspouts and are fairly unstable and 
will dissipate within minutes after forming.

Yes Siree,

Just came back from watching a rare green turtle lay eggs in the sand at a 
northern beach cove in Curacao. A few nights ago another green turtle lay her 
eggs at Klein Curacao, a mile long island approx 10 miles due southeast of 
Curacao.

Nothing noteworthy to report about the weather since July 23rd other than 
everyday blue skies and after each b-e-a-u-t-i-ful sunset only clear starry 
skies. I hope this weather keeps up for the August 12 meteor shower watch so 
that you can expect to count between 20 and 30 meteors per hour during the 
Perseids Meteor Shower.

This meteor event is taking place round the clock at every minute of each 24 
hours day. This year, the shower will be active between about July 30 and 
August 25. Of course, fewer meteors will be visible further away from the 
August 12 peak. 

Just like striking a match goes unnoticed outdoors at noon, you can lay on your 
back all day and watch the skies to detect a space rock bouncing off molecules 
in our atmosphere, but you can't see it against a sunlit sky. Your best chances 
are at night in an area which is not illumuninated by any type of lightsource. 
Your best bet will be an open field away from the lights of streets, PDVSA, 
homes and office buildings. In Curacao this is at Playa Canoa, Watamula, 
St.Joris, Fuik, San Juan, Ascenshon, Kristof, Shete Boca, Daaibooi baai, 
Caracasbaai, Zoutpan di Willibrordes, St. Michielbaai, tereno di Maal, to name 
a few. 

You don't need a campfire, flashlights, or binoculars. All you need is a beach 
chair, air mattress, or anything else that allows you to be in a relatively 
horizontal position (standing up is vertical). And oh yeah...very important 
items to remember when going meteor shower watching: bug spray for the 
mosquitos and no-see-ums, cookies, fruit, and a non-alcoholic beverages. 
Alcohol interferes with the eye?s adaption to the dark.

Photography tips: set your camera on a tripod. Look in the sky for the area 
with the most activity. Aim your lens in that direction with 8.0 or 11.0 
F-stop, and set your shutter to bulb or long exposures for 2 to 4 minutes 
depending on how illumintaed your area is. Since the meteors are quite small, 
it is best to use a shutter release other than your fingers. Weighing down your 
tripod with sandbags may prevent/reduce the jitter caused by wind.

My excuses for the long explenation, and the words between "(" and ")". But it 
had to be done because for example I was asked last wednesday: "...so this 
meteor watching is in the morning, afternoon or at night?" and "what if they 
fall on my head..." LOL!

Let me end this with my own question: ...is it coincedence that the Perseids 
meteor shower happens at the same time when turtles come ashore to lay their 
eggs?

I just came back from guarding a huge leatherback turtle who was laying her eggs on a beach a loooong ways from my house. Before hopping into bed to catch zome zzz's I took a gander at that wave that swooped off the African coast and made its way towards the caribbean. Currently this wave is not affected by SAL (Saharan Air Layer). In some situations the SAL is able to have a significant negative impact on the development of waves coming off the African coast that head towards the Caribbean. Its dry air can act to weaken a tropical cyclone by inhibiting updrafts in the storm, while its strong winds can substantially increase the vertical wind shear in and around the storm environment.& nbsp; 

This wave is also located in the warmest water region of the Atlantic. Both events of the SAL and the wave being in warmest Atlantic waters are favourable conditions for this wave to develop into something nasty... so keep your browsers n eyes on it.

In the distance due north we can witness a lightning storm over open sea as invest 94's more stronger center is passing Curacao due north. The outer bands of invest 94, especially the bottom right quadrant, is passing over Curacao and is currently responsible for the rainshowers varying from light to heavy all over the island.
 
Invest 94 was expected to arive early saturday morning but it picked up its pace yesterday and arrived this morning. Fast moving systems are favourable for the climate of Curacao since non-overave rage shower activity will not be able to cause flooding and not uproot trees that have been awaiting rain in dry & dusty soil.

Once more the seas are quite tranquil and there is little or no wind. The sky is 100% overcast.


What can we expect elsewhere in the region for the next 72 hours...

Storm Bertha is heading towards the UK and Holland (see bottom image), invest 94 will fall apart and not develop into a storm. The storm in the bottom left part of the bottom image will head west into the pacific, away from the Americas...

Trini God TY4RAIN!

A short shower this morning but nevertheless every drop counts to replenish our 
water supplies after a 4 month drought. It is easy to predict the weather when 
a wave comes at us from the east, having passed over Trinidad and others due 
east of us. It is a bit more difficult when it arrives from the west because 
other than Aruba, there is no other reliable weather station or stormcarib 
correspondent for that matter due west of us.

The water vapor sat image shows something developing due south west of us. 
Let's hope it will still be intact after moving and passing the mountain range 
of Venezuela. Usually waves with rain are ripped to shreds at or near the 
Venezuelan mountain range, so let's keep our fingers crossed for more rain in 4 
to 6 hours from now.

Atlantic Hurricane Season commences officially 35 days from today. Is everybody 
ready? Get your food, water, and other supplies together right now. Don't wait 
till something comes our way, cuz by then the items you need will be scarce, 
hard to find, or not available at all. Don't forget to acquire supplies and 
safe shelter for your pets.

By the way, keep an eye on the African coast, cuz history teaches us that the 
weather still being unpredictable, something could head our way before June 1 
2008.

sunny regards,
