So far, no threat to AXA.

 

TS Ike is currently about 700 miles to our east at 18.6 N (we are 18.1 N) and is expected to pass 225 miles to our north on Fri. afternoon as a cat 1 hurricane.  Expect a few showers with light winds coming around from the west, but not much else.

 

TD 10 formed overnight 1,100 miles to our east near the Cape Verde Islands, but this one also should pass well to the north of us sometime middle of next week.

 

There will be no further reports on these 2 storms unless there is a change in direction towards AXA.

TD#9 formed this morning about 1,500 miles east of AXA, but all models show it going well to our north (it’s already at 17.6 N).  But we still need to keep an eye on this one as it formed quickly.

 

A strong wave just emerged from the west coast of Africa that could develop into a depression.  Way to early to know anything about this one, but early models show it going to our north.  Probably know more in 4 – 5 days.

 

An area of disturbed weather about 350 miles to our southeast is not expected to develop, and looks like we won’t even get any rain out of it.

We only get maybe 2 – 3 thunderstorms a year here in Anguilla.  We have now had a thunderstorm each of the last 5 days – including today.  And significant rain for each of the last 5 days.  Today started sunny and hot, but by noon, cloudy and rain.  So far, over 0.5 inches.  My cistern loves it, but the tourists hate it.   Cheers,

Like St. Martin, viz is down to about 0.1 miles with lots of thunder.  We have had 0.7 in. in the past few minutes, and my Davis Vantage Pro is telling me it’s coming down at a rate of over 2.2 inches per hour.  Impressive.  I would not be surprised to see us lose power shortly.  Wind gusts have been less than 20 knots.

BORING!!!!  While that big blob to our east seems to grow larger, nothing going on here – and I mean nothing. We had a few quick showers this morning (about0.1 inches of rain), what wind there is is from the south (like 5 knots or less), and it’s really sticky.  See current conditions at:

I’m hoping the skies will open up and give us some much needed rain.  For months, the Government of Anguilla has been unable to supply water to the east or west end (50% of water produced is stolen, 20% lost to leaks), so we have to use cistern water for plants, pool as well as home usage.  For the first time in 16 years, I may have to buy water.

There have been some changes with 92L overnight, and it will now pass just to our north – closer than we thought.  SHOULD remain a tropical wave for today, but could become a depression later today/Friday.  We can expect rain, probably some thunder storms along with gusty winds.  Latest report show winds of 25 knots, but could easily increase some later today.  We will be on the south side of the storm which will lessen any impact.

 

No reason to start putting up the hurricane shutters, but keep checking the weather today.

All good news!  Storm 92L (400 miles to our east) has not really developed and will be passing well to our north.  We can still hope for a little rain, but even the chances of that are decreasing.  Storm 93L in the far eastern Atlantic may develop, but is tracking well to our north and should be no threat.  No further reports unless something develops.

92L is located about 650 miles to our east, but models show it passing to our north.  The NHC has upgraded it to a more than 50% chance of developing, and a Hurricane Hunter flight is scheduled for 2:00 PM today to investigate.  Make sure to check the status of this storm tonight after their flight.

 

93L is still way out there, but is also looking like it will pass to our north.

Nothing much to worry about right now, but strong Tropical Wave Invest 92 has formed over the far eastern Atlantic. There is the potential for this system to develop over the next few days, but almost ALL model tracks show it moving well north of the islands.  But still need to keep an eye on it.
