The official tropical weather thread - 2013

[xtech]

We have one wave in our area an it's to the west of the island on the map. The other wave is still far to our east not to the south east. ITCZ activity maybe an it showing up on Guyana radar.

Everybody radar working except ours

[hustla_ambition101]

Oooooo, I does try to avoid using the word tropical, tuntuns does automatically think "storm", hopefully I can get some stuff done this weekend despite the potential for rain

[Hook]

Lol our radar works brah. The communication link is down, but they're working on it. Be better informed.

[xtech]

I don't care if it working I can't use it cause d link down.... so until I can it's broke

[Hook]

That's your bag pallie. We get what we can for now until better can be done about it. What you get from it is your own business.

is dat a feeder band i seeing stretching across to we (or just under)?

[Hook]

ITCZ, bro. It never goes away, it just shifts up and down and occasionally flares up or breaks up into patches.

BTW, TD#4 is now Tropical Storm Dorian.

It's not expected to affect us this weekend, but ITCZ might hover and cause some instability.
