"Shear" Luck!


















I love delivering good news. This last week has been all good news for weather locally. Or a total lack of local weather...gotta love that high. So let's talk about Puerto Rico for a second where some "weather" is actually happening. Erika is no longer expected to become a hurricane or even remain a tropical storm for much longer. Erika is currently sliding west at arounf 15km/h with sustained winds of over 70 km/h. Central pressure is 100.8 kPa. A fairly potent little cyclone but it will likely fizzle out over the weekend and be nothing more than a strong "Low" by Saturday night into Sunday. Good news for the folks lving (or vacationing) in the islands and great news for the Maritimes who have already had to deal with two tropical systems in as many weeks. Gotta love that windshear!
