Radar loop where all can see the low as it moves thru the islands.Now as I type it is between Vieques and Culebra.

18.0n-65.5w is where the lines start so they are correct.

A LARGE AREA OF CLOUDINESS... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDS FROM
THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA... OVER THE LESSER ANTILLES... AND
NORTHWARD INTO THE ATLANTIC FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES. THIS
ACTIVITY IS ASSOCIATED WITH A LARGE MIDDLE- TO UPPER-LEVEL LOW
BETWEEN BERMUDA AND THE LESSER ANTILLES... AND A WEAK SURFACE LOW
NEAR PUERTO RICO WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING NORTHWESTWARD TO THE
BAHAMAS. THE COMBINATION OF THESE SYSTEMS IS PRODUCING SOME BANDS
OF HEAVY RAIN CONCENTRATED MAINLY OVER PUERTO RICO AND THE VIRGIN
ISLANDS. WHILE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE FAVORABLE FOR
TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IN THIS AREA... SOME GRADUAL
NON-TROPICAL OR SUBTROPICAL DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS
11:30 AM TWO.

Was just looking at that Luis. Seems to be getting shoved east for the time being, but I don't buy those tropical models yet, as the flow to the north of the islands seems to be east/SE to WNW north of the islands. Lots of small vortices spinning around in the SW Atlantic/Caribbean. Not sure what is going to dominate. Waiting for 12Z models. NAM shows a low getting swung around from north of the islands in a cyclonic loop toward the mid Atlantic coast, then SW toward the Carolinas. Lots of weird stuff out there. We need a clean sweep of the east coast o break this pattern.

I've been following this the past few days in the models.
The current NAM is close to previous days runs from NOGAPS and UK of turning a developing low south of Bermuda WNW towards the Carolina coast.
The GFS has at times shown this scenario as well.
12Z GFS is in through 96 hours and is much slower, thus further offshore, than the NAM at 84 HRS.
However, model guidance is in agreement of a developing blocking high to the North by days 3-5. So, it seems possible that anything moving north toward Bermuda could be turned westward after 72 hours. Something to watch for sure.

I haven't even had time to get on here this morning. We are having floods in the BVI! Several guts have burst their walls and flooding surrounding areas. One major gut in the capital, Road Town, has burst and the resulting flood caused fuel leaks from a gas station to mix with the water. Consequently, a huge area was put under mandatory evacuation, all residences and businesses, because they have no way to clean up the water, it is still pouring down the hills. A lot of people are without phone service (water in the lines). One of the businesses in the area flooded with gasoline is our country's food distributor, wholesaler and the biggest supermarket. All of their employees were told over the radio not to come to work this morning. We know one of their buildings has water in it, the others are a bit higher. Sure hope it doesn't get in the warehouses, or the country will have a food shortage. All the banks are closed, doctor's office, etc. It is bad, and as I type, it is pouring gusty, bandy-type rain.

Ditto what Luis said!!! I'm so sorry to read this. Hoping this gets cleared up quickly but the gas leak is very bad
