You always take the weather...

[bcholmes]

And now the weather has turned really peculiar. It feels like it's going to pour, soon, but right now, the sky is glowing the weirdest golden colour. It's completely overcast, but somehow the setting sun is lighting up all of the clouds in the most surreal sky I've ever seen.

There's a broad low pressure system over you with potential to turn into a tropical depression. But it lacks organization or cyclonic rotation.

from dr jeff's blog (http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1098&tstamp=200809):

Tropical disturbance 93L continues spin its wheels just inland along the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, and is not in a hurry to go anywhere. Dominican Republic radar shows a broad circulation with a large area of rain, but the rain is not organized into low-level rain bands. Visible satellite loops show that the heavy thunderstorm activity has increased some over Hispaniola, but has decreased over nearby water areas. There is no low-level circulation apparent, and the Hurricane Hunters couldn't find one this afternoon, either. Wind shear remains about 15 knots, which is marginal for tropical storm development.

In the Dominican Republic, heavy rain has been limited to the extreme eastern end, near Punta Cana, where satellite estimates indicate up to ten inches of rain has fallen. Rainfall in the capital, Santo Domingo, has been about an inch today, according to three personal weather stations there. Additional heavy rains of 4-8 inches are likely today through Wednesday in portions of the Dominican Republic.

Haiti has thus far escaped heavy rains from 93L. I expect western Haiti will receive 1-3 inches of rain from 93L, and eastern portions may receive 3-6 inches. Heaviest rains in the Turks and Caicos islands and southeastern Bahamas should be in the 3-6 inch range. Western Puerto Rico may receive an additional 3-6 inches.

It sounds pretty, at least. :)

You should post a picture.
