Greetings All,
Latest NHC and all models puts her storm track well away from the Northern Leeward Islands. Lee will soon become a Hurricane when winds reach 75 MPH with no affect to Nevis/St.Kitts. Good News to all.
Unless things change I will cease further posts concerning Lee.

Greetings All,
NHC has now published tracking info and based on that data this will pass to our north but still close. Nevis/St.Kitts will be in the 20-30 MPH region. If a further shift to a more southerly path we can easily move into the 40-50 MPH region. Present movement is a NNW direction. We will start to feel the effects Friday night and into Saturday morning. More information to follow.

Starting to keep an eye above disturbance to our east. NHC is predicting it will become a storm in several days passing to our north but still very close. No storm tracks projected yet but I would assume in 2-3 days they will have a better idea just where and how close to the Leewards it will pass. Stay posted.

Greetings All,
It looks like the European Models win on this one. Their models said this wave would take a southerly path. American Models put it direct over us. Yesterday it sure looked correct but by afternoon the sun was out and weather was fine. When there’s choices you have to pick the worst of the choices and hope for the best.
Till next time.
Cheers,

Greetings All,
The NOAA maps show this low pressure moving over the Caribbean Islands which includes Nevis/St.Kitts. Not a storm in any sense of the word, just a few days of clouds, rain and tropical downpours.
An area of low pressure could form in a day or so from an elongated trough of low pressure located several hundred miles to the east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles. Some slow development of this system is possible over the weekend and into early next week as it moves generally west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the Lesser Antilles and into the northeastern Caribbean Sea. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
I had a look at total rainfall year to date and surprisingly we are normal considering many areas reporting little or no rain. Nevis is on schedule for a normal 50 inch rain fall year.

Greetings All,
Another look at NHC data shows no change to this wave as it moves across the Caribbean Islands well south of SKB/NEV and into the Caribbean Sea. Conditions are unfavorable for further development. I will discontinue reports for Nevis/St.Kitts on this tropical wave.

Greetings All,
Looking at the low pressure area and NHC reports the projected path is south of Nevis/St.Kitts moving towards the Windward Islands. Upper level winds will deter the development along with a strong El Niño this year. NHC discussion is saying formation is less then a 50% chance of becoming a storm. Will have another look early part of week as the depression moves closer.

| Cheers from lovely Nevis, my base for a bit. We had lovely rain last night. I love hearing the noise on the roof. It lulls me to sleep. Today, I hiked up Saddle Hill. It was a bit humid but no direct sun for the 1250 ft climb. Later, I headed to the rainforest and it’s quite overcast. I love it. Nevis has amazing wind. This is my first trip back in many years. It’s almost as windy as Bonaire often was. Wish I had a windsurfer. My meteoroligist contact suggests some weather, perhaps next week. The rains in New England are mad crazy. Rivers are swollen and there is so much damage. Wild fires continue. It’s hard not to get emotionally overwhelmed
Have a lovely day. To see some of my photos from this trip click on my IGs posted below

| Good Evening
I am in Nevis on a solo mindfulness holiday as part of my ongoing Caribbean “retreat”. The weather today was a bit wet at times. There was a few passing squalls with some nice wind gusts. Later, the sky cleared. As I type, the peepers are lulling me into sleep mode. I have not been on island for quite some time. It is a pleasure to see the green hills and beauty of this little gem. More weather reports to come.

Greetings All,
The latest, as of 5pm, from NHC projected path puts Bret just under 200 miles south of Nevis. Based on that data and no reported change in path, I will say this is a miss.
Will post as next depression/storm gets coverage from NHC.

Greetings All,
Looking at the NHC 5am data, the track has been changed and is now further south of Nevis/St.Kitts. Plotted path puts the storm approx 30 mi from southern tip of Martinique, Friday 5am. The central pressure remains at, 1008 mb.
Based on this data, the storm's path will pass approx 170 miles to the south of Nevis. Will we even see rain ????

- Storm 3 Projections Mon afternoon

Greetings All,
Based on the latest NHC date this is the projected path of this storm. It is located approx 110 miles south of Nevis.
Maximum winds are Friday at 80 MPH - 70 KT Sat they decrease to 75 MPH as it moves into the Caribbean Sea.
I will replot projected paths each day as published by NHC and post here.
From NHC ...... 1. The depression is forecast to strengthen and move across the
Lesser Antilles as a hurricane on Thursday and Friday, bringing a
risk of flooding from heavy rainfall, hurricane-force winds, and
dangerous storm surge and waves.
2. Given the larger than usual uncertainty in the track forecast,
it is too early to specify the location and magnitude of where
these hazards could occur. However, everyone in the Lesser
Antilles, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands should closely monitor
updates to the forecast.
