Watching Dean Develop?

Last Update for Saturday:
Models now forecast the storm to track into the Caribbean.
Blah, Phewwt!


Update:
TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
530 PM EDT SAT AUG 11 2007

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA IS
PRODUCING DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NEAR JAMAICA...THE
CAYMAN ISLANDS...AND CUBA. DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM...IF
ANY...IS EXPECTED TO BE SLOW TO OCCUR AT IT MOVES WESTWARD INTO THE
YUCATAN PENINSULA AT ABOUT 10 MPH.

A VIGOROUS TROPICAL WAVE...LOCATED OVER THE FAR EASTERN ATLANTIC
OCEAN JUST WEST OF THE COAST OF AFRICA...IS PRODUCING DISORGANIZED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR GRADUAL
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM
DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 15 TO 20
MPH.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

Hope springs eternal! This forecast is for next Saturday (winds). Hopefully, Dean does not roll over PR and DR.

I was in VB last week. Surfed Sandbridge Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Waist high on Friday but packed, Billabong was out in full force with their surf camp. Man, it was a zoo, more like slalom than surfing.

Saturday the wind was on it in the arvo so I went fishing. Caught nothing but had a good time hanging out with the old man.

Sunday was great. Packed like I've never seen it before. Took the new board out for the 3rd time. Wish I had the Weber that day, it was longboard able but the fish didn't have enough juice. My shoulders were toast after 5 hours of constant paddling.

25 days and counting until GP!
