The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service issued an Adverse Weather Alert (Yellow Level) at 2:06 AM for both T&T.

It went into effect at 2:00 AM Saturday, continuing through 5:00 PM Sunday due to an active ITCZ.

(So they did not see this coming?)

[bluefete]

It is 7:10 a.m.

When you see the parrots still hugging up each other in the trees, you know that water more than flour.

Those parrots are normally gone by 5:30 a.m.

Almost all of them are still around.

Khalain was briefing in the weather last week but I didn't stick around to hear what he was going to say.

12:45 PM - The ITCZ has flared up this afternoon across parts of Trinidad and Tobago, producing strong thunderstorms and heavy rainfall.

Main hazards through the afternoon include reduced visibility, street/flash flooding, gusty winds & lightning

[pugboy]

high tide is 8pm
hope end before that as the saturation runoff could be pressure

Election Day 2020

Monday – A surface to mid-level high-pressure system will be the dominant feature over T&T. In addition, model data is indicating a relatively dry and stable lower to upper-level atmosphere. As a result, mostly fair and breezy conditions are anticipated.

AM – Mostly settled conditions are forecast to persist into the morning, with showers generally remaining in our offshore waters and favoring eastern areas of both islands. A mostly hot and sunny morning is anticipated, somewhat hazy due to mild concentrations of Saharan Dust. By the late morning, partly cloudy skies may give way to a few isolated showers favoring Trinidad, with the low chance of heavier showers or thunderstorms.

PM – Partly cloudy skies may be interrupted by isolated showers or isolated thunderstorms favoring western and hilly areas of Trinidad. Isolated showers are also possible across Tobago. These showers will bring some much-needed cooling to a mostly hot day. A mostly settled evening is forecast, barring the odd, isolated shower. Moisture ahead of Tropical Wave 33 may being to fuel isolated showers, favoring eastern areas of both islands by the late night.

Seas forecast to be slight to moderate, with waves between 1.0 to 1.5 meters in open waters. In sheltered areas, near calm. Air quality is forecast to decrease to moderate levels at times.

The main hazards include highly isolated heavy rainfall, favoring the Western half of Trinidad, reducing visibility, and gusty winds up to and in excess of 55 KM/H. Street or flash flooding will be possible in slow-moving showers and thunderstorms. In thunderstorm activity, frequent lightning is also possible. Gusty winds may cause power dips/outages, downed trees, and localized wind damage.

Still a few hours to go before high tide.

[pugboy]

yeah and if rain keeps falling it will back up
ground runoff is usually a few hours behind the rain fall

the bright sparks at met office never mention tides in their warnings

high tide is 8pm

Still a few hours to go before high tide.
