Rain for the weekend?

I hate to put a damper on the weekend but I think I should at least keep you informed about a possible rain event. What you're seeing in this image is a satellite shot courtesy of the National Hurricane Center in Miami Florida. The little disturbance (circled in red) is sitting a few hundred miles off the coast of Puerto Rico and has a good chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm. So what does this have to do with Peterborough? Although some very early forecast models are putting a track on this possible cyclone along the eastern seaboard, it is still way too early to put any confidence into these models. That being said, tropical cyclone or not, this disturbance has a good chance of bringing us some rain maybe Saturday or Sunday. Substantial rain. Not good news for those planning on attending the Canadian Wakeboard Championships. I'll keep you posted on this as it develops.
