Good afternoon. I’m pleased to say that our move into our new home ran very smoothly yesterday. It’s sure been a hectic past few days and really past few months but we’re in and now beginning a new chapter. Thought I would nip up to my wife’s parents house to use the WIFI and bring a quick […]
We have a classic upper air pattern with building ridge into the Great Lakes, eastern Canada following a trough split in which a tropical storm is tracking WNW underneath, en-route to the US. Here’s the latest GFS scenario for Erika. Here’s the toasty upper pattern over top of Erika. Lot’s of heat in this pattern […]
Too much of a good thing! Drought conditions have continued to worsen throughout the Caribbean this summer but Erika has moved in and all but swamped the island of Dominica as she continues her WNW towards the Bahamas as a 50 mph storm. There’s video of a building collapsing under the power of raging flood waters. Canefield Airport on the […]
After a very slow start to the 2015 season due to colder than normal water, strong easterlies and dusty dry air, conditions are steadily improving and we’re seeing the results. The African wave train is shedding several large waves out into the tropical Atlantic now and we’ve seen the development of Danny, rapidly intensifying into a Cat […]
Danny is off and Erika is on and now as a Tropical Storm heading west towards the Lesser Antilles. This system has environment ‘relatively favourable’ for slow intensification over the next couple of days and so significant impacts look likely for the northern Leeward Islands. As for the United States, this is worth watching as the pattern looks conducive […]
Danny continues to punch through a sea of shear and dry air and therefore it continues to weaken, now a 50 mph tropical storm. Hopefully it can hold together enough to bring some much needed rain to the Caribbean Islands. As for the West Pacific, well we’ve two beasts.

Conditions around Danny continue to worsen and as a result the storm continues to weaken as shear and dry air increases, decreasing the sustained winds to 90 mph. Whether Danny weakens into nothing or not, this is a sign of a shift in pattern which is becoming more favourable with waves coming off Africa more and […]
In the last 48 hours, Danny has found an area of calm along with less dry air thus allowing the system to mature becoming the Atlantic’s fourth named storm and within barely the last 24 hours, the first hurricane and first major hurricane too. Current winds are 115 mph. Danny has become a Category 3 storm pretty far south also. The last time we’ve seen a major hurricane as […]
First and foremost, we have Tropical Storm Danny out over the east central Atlantic and showing strong signs of becoming 2015’s first hurricane. Latest visible satellite imagery shows a little eye within Danny. The NHC has this as a hurricane crossing the northern Lesser Antilles early next week. Model spray for Danny. Does this have any threat on the […]
