Seems to be the track... Mike says so.... looks like 6:30 - 7:30 to get to Cabrera and Cabo Frances

That means maybe midnit for cabarete/Sosua....

Is that the 'wunderground' website you see..... w/ the directional arrows?

Rough weather isnt to you yet... I'm watching for it....My guess is early this evening.
Do you have Mike's radar............ here are 2.... not even to samana yet

NWS radar image loop of Long Range Reflectivity from Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands

Current San Juan NEXRAD Radar Map : Weather Underground

Thanks WW! I'll be keeping an eye on those radars. We (myself, plus one husband, 4 dogs, 1 cat and a donkey!) are in for the evening now anyway so I guess we'll just wait and see what happens.

Hi board, I recently spent 5 days in Punta Cana shooting commercials for a hotel. I am headed back to Punta Cana tomorrow for 5 days with my wife. Back in May the weather was great and I didn't mind the rain storms at all... This time there's a tropical storm obviously traveling over the DR today.

My question is, what do you think the weather will be like from 8/23 - 8/28. Our friend from Puerto Rico thinks the weather might be really nice since the Tropical Storm will take most of the moisture out of the air.

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide! -John

Power went off for about 10 minutes and came back on, orange internet is not really flying at the moment.
Since we do not have invertor, bathtub is filled with water because no power is no water either and I filled the living room with lots of candles. Dogs are running outside, find the cooler temperature very nice.

In Punta Cana we have had steady rain for at least the past hour or so. It was intermittent earlier, now it is a steady rain. Windy but not violently so.

Maingirl what does your crystal ball say about the following 5 days? :p

Thanks Olly for the info, we're coming rain or shine tomorrow, just curious what the locals think :) Much appreciated all.
