    Someone said a few days ago that when we get no warning is when things turn out bad.

    You all knew of the weather report since last week, so stop it with the we didn't know. The 10-day forecast was available and you all chose to ignore it. Stay dry Strups.

    Why do the weather predictions sound like a fake psychic guessing or a false prophet. Everything is all over the place.

    Mostly cloudy throughout the week.
    Today light showers start from 9am and continue through 7pm. Heaviest showers will be at noon and at 4pm. Otherwise cloudy today.

    Pattern of weather continues throughout the week to Thursday. No flooding predicted.

    You're welcome!

      @ Guessing, yes like I said, the 10-day forecast is available to everyone and they choose to come up with their own predictions. They're hopeless.

    Seems to have dissolved.

    Please explain to us earthbound humans how a west bound surface tropical wave will survive eastbound upper level wind flow shearing the tops off any potential rain clouds.

    Does anyone at DDM even watch the satellite videos of the northeast Caribbean??
