This is the text this morning from NWS for the PR/VI Increasing tropical moisture is expected on Friday into the weekend with the passage of a surface trough followed by a potentially strong tropical wave for the weekend. Recent model guidance and information from the National Hurricane Center continued to suggest that this system has the potential for further development during the next few days, as it approaches the Leeward Islands. There still remain some inconsistencies in the model guidance but all suggest a very moist and unstable weather pattern for the region through much of the long- term, as we approach the peak of the hurricane season. As previously mentioned there is still some uncertainties between model guidance in the final forecast track and timing of this feature but regardless, the potential for heavy rainfall across the region over the upcoming weekend is high at this time based on the present persistence in model guidance. A slight improvement in the weather conditions is expected by Monday though Tuesday as the strong Tropical system moves farther away from the region and trailing moisture lingers across the forecast area. A drier airmass and another surge of Saharan dust is so far forecast by the middle of the upcoming workweek. And some imagery : https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=98L&product=ir

Not much going on here from Laura. Had enough rum after the curfew announcements last night to sleep thru most of it. Some heavy rain bands now and a little wind. Haven't lost power yet so the webcam is up and the sound is on if anyone wants to watch how Cane Garden Bay is doing. Website link then click on Sunset Cam.

Husker, I am headed your way in September, from your post, I read the fires are quite near you? It is hard to tell from fire maps I have been reading. @Toast - Yes, there are quite a few fires around us, but no immediate threats. Thankfully now the normal off shore breeze is back, fog rolling in and smoke starting to clear out a bit. Safe travels.
