As of 5 Rina is still a hurricane with 75 mph sustained winds. The system is very disorganized and only has a scap of an eyewall left. The storm is headed for the yucatan peninsula.
97L now does not even have a remote shot at developing. I agree.
Well here we go. We have rain, some heavy moving in. This will help the cold air to filter down from the higher levels of the atmosphere. After a day of rain we will get some snow overnight. There will be no accumulation. The storm will be gone by Friday.
As I look at the models again I see that the storm tomorrow will be a little bigger than origionally thought. Not by much but this one will at least have some small accumulations. By small I mean >1-1 inch at the coast with 1-3 in the foothills and 2-4 in the larger mountains.
It looks like the storm previosly predicted to hit this weekend will stay out to sea.
The weekend storm is going out to sea so it is not a concern. There is still a slight possability that either that storm or one on tuesday could affect us.
This mornings sat. map. convection associated with a shortwave trof is building over the ohio valley. This is the snowy system. Rina is a swirl in the W. Caribbean and 97L is the convection south of PR.
Well is still a high end cat 2 with 110 mph winds and is bering down on the east coast of the Yucatan peninsula.
97L is now put at a 10% chance of development by the nhc and due to the lack of deep convection (big thunderstorms)I would have to agree with them this time.
It will be more cloudy today as a snowy disturbance passes through. Cooler with highs in the mid 50s but cooling off to around 30 tonight. Winds will be light at around 10 mph from the west.
Well it looks like we will still get the snow with the stationary front on Thursday but it is becoming less likely that the weekend storm will play out for us.
