Okay, weather geek back at it. At least this time I'm not calling it an "invest" anything. But, this is the system I mentioned a few days ago.
Tropical Depression Noel (apparently, it's pronounced "nol" or "knoll" not like the Christmas Noel) has formed.
What does this mean for the USVI? A bit more rain...Noel is a very slow moving storm system. Noel is located south and west of the Virgin Islands but, because of the slow movement of the storm and the reduced wind sheer in the Caribbean, the bands of rain will extend outward and last longer than a more "compact" storm that moves quickly.
There is a little bit of something just to the east of this mess, too. But, wind sheer looks strong there and it will probably fall apart before it becomes anything.

Missing St. John. As always.

We have been suffering the effect from "Noel" for the last 3-4 days with almost solid rain - great cistern filler for sure but enough already.
We hit a record low for yesterday at 68 degrees - I've been wearing sweats for 3 days now - great for 2 days but I'm now I'm over it.
It was supposed to have passed us by today but it was not to be - so tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always tomorrow.........
