I was starting to wonder where all the exciting stormy weather was! More than half way through the summer, we finally have some tropical storm weather to be on the lookout for, and Nevis Island is all over it!

Nevis residents were cautiously asked to closely monitor the progress of Ana for any further developments. The public was asked early, to make necessary preparations for the storm, if and when it should pass St. Kitts and Nevis.

Tomorrow looks sunny and clear, but rain will fall a bit for the rest of the week. Check out the Nevis Weather forecast. It looks as if Nevis weather might simply show some rainfall, and no serious stormy weather.

A rainfall of two to four inches is expected from the storm with possible isolated maximum amounts of 6 inches over mountainous terrain.

The National Hurricane Center says that the “CIRCULATION OF ANA HAS DISSIPATED.” That means Nevis is in no harm. However, it has had an impact on some of the islands of the Caribbean.

“MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 35 MPH…55 KM/HR…WITH HIGHER
GUSTS…IN A FEW SQUALLS. ANA IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES OVER PUERTO RICO AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC…WITH ISOLATED
MAXIMUM AMOUNTS OF 6 INCHES OVER MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN.”

Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service issued a tropical storm watch for the Federation and surrounding Leeward Islands. However, News at Yahoo.com said that “Once a worrisome storm, but downgraded to a tropical depression, Ana raced through the Caribbean Sea south of Puerto Rico on a track that could take it into the Gulf of Mexico by the end of the week.”

Even though it was making a strong path, it has been subsiding. Ana drenched Puerto Rico as it raced toward Hispaniola, the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Along side the threats of Ana, Hurricane Bill, threatens the mid-Atlantic! Top winds reached 90 mph, just below Category 2 on the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity, the Miami-based hurricane center said.

Forecasters think it will reach a Category 3, with winds of more than 110 mph by late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Category 3, 4 and 5 storms are considered “major” hurricanes, the most destructive type. This is where all the major focus is now, on the satellites.
