did it rain on the southshores somewhere?
heer on the east all was a full no show, during the day in the areas where i dove around several times, between veron, cap cana and cabeza de toro, not a drop all day til sunset long after the early morning shower.
the Center, located near our southshores, contains no significant rain nor winds, HB, your wish will not come true to fill the reservoirs, Gabrielle will stay a disapointment down there.
all day long a lot of rainloads stuck near our shores on the SE, coming closer little by little, but did not reach shore.
there is still a good amount of water out off our east and SE, it barely moves forward, i don't know if some will come in at some spots or not.
the heavy rainloads and thunderstorms of Gabrielle stayed separated from their surface low pressure center, stuck south and over Puerto Rico, moving very very slow WNW, those are the waterloads seen on the Radar near the SE shores of DR.
the tropical wave/area of disturbed weather NE of the Leeward Islands had the potential to become a TD itself, but windshear and proximityinteraction with Gabrielle's Stormies hindered development.
all that water is still stuck eastsoutheast of Hispaniola, not far away but barely coming closer.
it is the fuel for a Storm, but missing a Storm to fuel.
our dead calm wind starts to move a bit now on the East, NOT blowing, just starting to move a bit the all day long dead air, maybe a rainportion will come closer and pass by tonight.
the interaction between the 2 systems made all forecasts of the last couple days just wild guess's and gave the Models no chance to show anything reliable.
we def will not get a TS anywhere on the Isle, most of the Island will not get anything, maybe the SE'ern corner between PC and La Romana will get some water somewhere in that area, but impossible to tell.

the Fisherman is happy that Gabrielle came out an other of our numerous No Shows,
and is speechless about such nastyness of a Storm, making all predictions worthless, leaving me just watching the actual points and stopping to think about "what comes next", lol.

the Maps should continue to show those colorful dots all around, for each that goes away there will already be a next one in the make for the next 10-15 days to come.
if they all come out like Gabrielle, that's fine i guess.

My people (family, at work etc.) don't believe me anymore. Always when I say so long there is a storm approaching it happens NOTHING! :) I mean I can live with that...

"How was the storm?" Err, what storm?

lol.

to safe a bit of your reputation, here i have a shot for you to show them, they can at least see the rainloads hanging a few miles off the Beaches.
i just can't show a storm, as there isn't, lol.

So much for me running around closing the apartments I look after in case of a major storm, nothing! That is good in its own way. Right now just high dark grey clouds interspersed with whiter ones, still a bit of lightening and some thunder, short showers and that is it for Bavaro. The dog is happier now, lol... later this morning I will have to go and re-open all those apartments and let some fresh air in... my goodness was yesterday a hot and still day full of humidity! Bring on the breeze :)

Thanks for the updates Mike, much appreciated.

the center of the low pressure system(former TS Gabrielle) is now right over Punta Cana, moving very very slow. no winds to feel, thunder is heard and it will rain roday here on the east.
by the look of the wet grounds outside i guess it rained for a good while late night.
wind is dead, ocean is calm, skies are dark clouded with thunder near.
that will be our day, a day without the heat, feelsgood at this moment, i just hope it will not rain too much, so the streets stay fine.

since my last post i've been on the road to bring the kittens to school, back right now.
the center hangs over the East/Punta Cana, it does not contain any wind, rain comes down softly, not the usual hard rain of a storm. i hear thunder nearby which is now coming closer. this will be a rainy day, but not in the way of a dangerous rainamount.
still the same as yesterday, the winds and full rainload of all that fleddered system are far off it's East, actually hanging/moving slowly on the NE of Puerto Rico.
the low pressure Center of former Gabrielle, it's yesterday separated rains and winds and the remaints of the large disturbed weather area which hung E of the Islands, all that merged into one very large area of messy weather, which reaches from the Eastern Dominican Republic over Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and several hundred miles out into the Tropical Atlantic.
over all it moves NNW'wards, with the low pressure center now a bit north of Punta Cana(it passed early morning right here) moving slow and windfree.
i don't see any chances for such wide and unorganized system to get organized and become a storm for the next 24hrs, and then it will be away from us.
by present conditions it will slowly turn, more northwards and finally northeastwards out on the open atlantic graveyard during the next days.

so we are on a rainy day, but not in any danger.

Thank you! Do you expect the weather to clear up or stay rainy for the next few days? I ask as I am not familiar with how these weather patterns go.

we are not familiar with such neither, as such ocurances are rare and can not be predicted how they move or how long they last.
for today here on the East we will most likely stay under clouds with soft rains going on and off once in a while.

looks like it is stalled over us completely.
zero wind, soft rain, no waves, and no movement/intentions to leave.
now we also have a wave several hundred miles south of Bermuda, hindering our rain to move out quickly.
looks like we are left behind with a large Vaguada raining down softly but steadily til the clouds are empty.
the Puerto Rican Radar Station out of San Juan/PR shows nicely where it is stuck over us on the east shores.

so how are all the other areas on the Island???
what's up on the South?
what's up with HB's reservoir?

during this afternoon Punta Cana gets drier, too.
the rain hangs still over the SE of the Island, in PC the rain stopped and is hanging close but over water.
looks like little by little it gets away, there is hope for a dry morning tomorrow morning.
anyways,
it was nothing bad here, we had several lasting rains but nothing harsh, it was soft constant windfree rain, it is warm, completely calm, Paradise without the usual Heat.

just also heard that Higuey stayed dry, it shows how close by locations different weather patterns can act.
looks like it really was just a band hanging over the SE/E right over a tiny beacharea from maybe Bayahibe-Yuma-Cap Cana-Punta Cana-Bavaro-Uvero Alto.

looking forward on a fantastic calm day of fishing tomorrow

here on the East:
looks all clear for tomorrow.

after the weekend we can start to look on the large Tropical Wave which hits Atlantic Waters during the next 10-15hrs over the african westshores, it is the next with potential for development, as the conditions look on the forecasts favorable.
the other dots actually on the Map are not awaited to effect our Island.

let's enjoy a calm sunny weeeeekend

Not a single drop in Bayahibe yesterday, actually we had few sunny periods during the morning, the rest of the day mostly cloudy, not dark just greyish with very light breeze

it's all gone.
here on the east we are sunny without clouds since sunrise, an other day with zero wind, Ocean still a flat plate.
we are on perfect Beach weather and nothing in vicinity to bother the weekend.
the next one to watch out for during next week is active tropical wave which is reaching atlantic waters off the african coast during today.

gone 'Fishing for the next days

while we have no more storms anywhere near the East, the remants of Gabrielle push out rainclouds to all side, today/since late morning we have some hanging over Punta Cana, like a Vaguada, zero wind but soft rain on and off. it started nice sunny and looked clear, but it is clouded and rainy again since some hours.
i hate that lil crap which is not shown anywhere on the Maps until it is already here/to be seen with the own eyes then anyways.
I like the real Storms, the stuff that can't be missed even if i forget to put my reading glasses on, which is more predictable even days in advance.

for today let's forget about the Beach BBQ here, tomorrow is an other day, and it is still Weeeeeekend.
