Caribbean Staying Stormy...

As we enter the last week in October and know that no hurricane has crossed the LA. coast in November, it doesn't mean the season is over but just that the focus is now away from us. It appears a cluster of storms over the NW Caribbean is becoming better organized and should become Rina on Monday. With dry air and strong west winds over the Gulf, Rina is predicted to drift slowly to the WNW moving into Central America or the Yucatan later this week. Models are developing another low over the Central Caribbean in the next 7-10 days so we still could run out of storm names before the 2011 season is put to bed.

Locally, a weak upper disturbance is moving across us tonight with a slight chance for a stray shower. Another cold front should arrive on Thursday bringing more cold air and prospects for another pleasant & dry weekend.
