The official tropical weather thread 2020

[aaron17]

Gonzalo's trajectory has changed a bit at the 5PM NHC update. It's now heading due west. It's also expected to become a hurricane on Thursday. Trinidad has a 5-10% probability of storm force winds, Tobago a 10-20% probability.

so it strengthening to a hurricane then it weakening to a storm by teh time it reach by we

By sat it would be Tobago alone

Called it....gonna pass us

'What's the most you lost in a coin toss?'

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Most we might get is a tropical wave on steroids

[MaxPower]

Imagine calaweather and today in florida beating that tropical storm warning news for us and other islands...and our local people not doing one mc....year after year...same sheit

You forget God holds a Trini passport ?

He eh shame??

[PariaMan]

It's a small storm and we on the very edge of the projected path.No significant feeder bands .

Effect on us will be minimal

[matr1x]

Me eh bothering. Beach lime like normal

[MaxPower]

C'mon...

Move a little more south......

Yunno!

Its not good to pray for the bad, but Trinis need it.

Need something to snap their backs and necks in two for them to be more responsible.

It have more masks than bird sheit on the ground and in the drains.

[matr1x]

Lol. And hopefully flush out the vene. Aka white cockroach

[abbow]

hoping im wrong, but this not looking like it veering north by much.

[ST Auto]

You are not wrong. Shifted a bit south

[fokhan_96]

I don't think I've seen the nhc been so uncertain about a system in a while.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Now coming to post that...slight southward shift...this system real unpredictable

[redmanjp]

how is Tobago not under hurricane watch yet?- it almost dead centre of the cone. and trinidad at least should be under storm watch

[Dohplaydat]

Still likely to pass north but we need to watch this one carefully.

Rain falling atm

[killercow]

Iirc, T&T has only been affected by four hurricanes since the 1930s

Trinidad hurricane (1933)
Hurricane Flora (1963)
Hurricane Ivan (2004)
Hurricane Tomas (2010)

[Musical Doc]

Hurricane Ivan (2004)
Hurricane Tomas (2010)

Ivan and Thomas did NOT affect T&T. We may have had some rain but I clearly remember Ivan was due to hit us but it veered north and destroyed Grenada instead.

Trinidad sits outside of the hurricane belt we have nothing to worry about except flooding and a little strong wind.

Those who forget the past are condemned to relive it - George Santayana.

ED take a read.

Note: For Trinidad - Alma, Fran, Bret and Isidore were all tropical storms.

For Tobago - Flora was a hurricane. Arthur and Joyce were tropical storms.

[matr1x]

This system is no big deal now

[eliteauto]

the current consistent rainfall for the last couple days will have the soil saturated, if we get increased rainfall over the weekend there is increased risk of flooding in areas so prone

[bluefete]

Strong rain and wind.

Passing cloud no feeder band.

Just because ...

[pugboy]

this has been our biggest damage over the years
the 2018 floods were the result of 2 weeks rainfall

the current consistent rainfall for the last couple days will have the soil saturated, if we get increased rainfall over the weekend there is increased risk of flooding in areas so prone

[bluefete]

T&T Weather Center is doing more to prepare people for this storm than our own authorities.
