LOCALISED UNSTABLE CONDITIONS AFFECTING WEATHER OVER TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO.

Trinidad and to a lesser extent Tobago would be affected by local unstable conditions producing cloudy to overcast skies with occasional showers and isolated thundershowers.

These conditions are expected to last for the next 4 to 5 hours. The showery and thundery spells will produce street/flash flooding and accompanying gusty winds in excess of 50 Kmh. Landslides/landslips are also possible.

Citizens are advised to be vigilant and cautious given the weather conditions both current and forecast, as they conduct their daily activities. All necessary measures must be adopted to preserve life and property. Be alert to any electrical discharges from thunderstorm activity.

We wish to underscore that at this time Trinidad and Tobago is NOT under any Tropical Storm threat, Watch or Warning.

The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Services is closely monitoring this weather situation and will issue another bulletin if the situation warrants.

AND in other weather news...

The sheer size of this is enough to make me believe if it keeps this size it could be a menace... though it's a LONG ways out and anything can happen

2. A LARGE AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER EXTENDS FROM THE WEST COAST OF
AFRICA TO THE SOUTH OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. THE ASSOCIATED
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS BECOME SLIGHTLY BETTER
ORGANIZED THIS EVENING ABOUT 250 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF THE
SOUTHERN CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR
FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM AS IT
MOVES WESTWARD AT 5 TO 10 MPH. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...20
PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

^ yup, no threat to the Caribbean though

MIAMI — A new tropical depression has formed in the Atlantic, but the system is far from land.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Saturday that the tropical depression could become a hurricane by Monday.

The depression was located about 580 miles west-southwest of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands. It has maximum sustained winds of 30 mph and is moving west-northwest at 9 mph. The depression could become a tropical storm as early as Saturday night.

The center said most of the computer models showed it turning toward the northwest in about three days.

A turn to the northwest or north could keep it over the ocean but it was too early to say with precision whether the system could pose a threat to the U.S. East Coast.

If upgraded, it would be Tropical Storm Danielle, the fourth named storm of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, which forecasters have predicted will be very active.

Of the three named storms in the season so far, only one, Alex, became a hurricane and churned ashore on the Texas-Mexico border on June 30 as a Category 2.

The Atlantic hurricane season is now in its traditionally most active phase, which runs from mid-August through October. Hurricanes feed on warm water and the tropical Atlantic is warmest during that time.

U.S. government scientists earlier this month reduced their forecast for the 2010 season, but said they were still predicting a very active year of eight to 12 hurricanes.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it now expected 14 to 20 tropical storms, with eight to 12 of those strengthening into hurricanes.

It forecast that four to six of them would become "major" hurricanes, which are ranked at Category 3 or above on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale of intensity and have top winds of more than 110 mph .

Still will keep an eye till it goes well north of us... there's aridge around haiti/d rep that's coming back east and converging with the winds from the east of the caribbean around the lesser antillies with some intensity... which in turn is forcing that convergence of weather back towards us... winds blowing southwesterly and some thundershowers here in Tobago being heard with increasing intensity.

Expect you all in Trini to report the same if not already...

This one behind Daniel is one to watch.
It would more than likely move WNW just like Daniel, but since Daniel is clearing the dust and putting alot of moisture in the air ahead of it, we can see this one become a BIG storm soon as Hurricane Earl.
