TROPICAL WAVE TO CONTINUE AFFECTING WEATHER CONDITIONS IN
TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
Foreleg activity associated with an approaching Tropical Wave has been affecting weather conditions over Trinidad and Tobago overnight into this morning. As the axis of the Tropical Wave move across our twin Island State, further showery activity can be anticipated in the form of intermittent periods of rain/showers and the isolated thundershower.
This latest rainfall episode is forecasted to affect Trinidad and Tobago for at least the next 4-6 hours. Rainfall accumulations of 15-25 millimeters over some areas are likely. Other areas could receive collective amounts in excess of this. Street/Flash flooding along with the occasional gusty wind in heavy showers/thundershowers is possible.
Citizens are advised to be vigilant and cautious as they conduct their activities. Be alert to any electrical discharges from thundercloud activity and adopt measures which would preserve life and property.
WE STRONGLY UNDERSCORE THAT TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO IS NOT UNDER
ANY TROPICAL STORM THREAT, WATCH OR WARNIG AT THIS TIME.
The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Services is closely monitoring conditions and will issue another bulletin if the situation warrants.

Friday, July 29, 2011 08:31AM EDT - Emily?
Good morning,
Happy Friday to all!! The vanguard of the 2011 hurricane season has passed with the first 3 named storms in the books and TS Don winding his way towards the Northern Mexican/South Texas border. Don's time to reach minimal hurricane status is almost over and, due to it's small stature, may not bring as much needed rain as many would want but in any case, a little is better than the big "0" they have been getting!
Our probable 5th named storm is still several days away from the Leeward and Windward Islands. This would be Emily. Currently just an Invest (91), this system is expected to intensify over the next few days and could even become the first hurricane of the season by Tuesday depending on several factors which include lessening wind shear, warmer sea surface temperatures, and a moister air environment. As it is a large wave with already lowering pressures, the potential here is enormous down the road. If you haven't prepared by now, I suggest you might think about it seriously.
Current track and intensity suggest a medium strength TS in 24-36 hours and a minimal hurricane in 48-60 hours trekking just south of Guadaloupe as it heads NE. As this system is not organized yet, this forecast is definitely not totally reliable but it still gives us an idea of what could lie ahead. I think it's a rather bullish forecast at the moment but gradual development, not rapid, is almost certain. This wave gives off bad vibes. There have been only 2 Cat 5 storms before the middle of August; Emily in 2005 and Allen in 1980. Then we have memories of Dean and Felix, 2 Cat 5's that trekked through the southern and middle Caribbean Islands both in 2007 and just weeks apart.
Just getting ready to exit the coast of Africa is another wave but it is higher up and behind that, the waves look like they have their marching orders as several appear to have started a conga line headed west. This does not bode well. More tonight.
Dave
