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.

This message has been brought to you by your VIOL weather geek.

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.........

I guess and I'm hoping that this will be far away from the islands when we're getting ready to leave.

Please reassure me????

Just think you could save money on the wet T shirt contests

I don't know boys, when it's cold no one is gonna be wearing wet T-shirts

I am guessing that a wet sweatshirt contest will not have the results you guys are looking for.

It's my guess the guys prefer a wet t-shirt contest when it's a bit "nippy" out!

Mr B you are making me home sick for that view.

I just read on Yahoo that this is becoming quite the little storm. They said that at least 12 people have died in the Dominican Republic.
