Hope you are all ready and well prepared for anything that may happen during this hurricane season.

We've had some weather models indicate that a possible tropical system is forming in the Western Caribbean. The data is not conclusive hoever. The pattern early in the season certainly indicates activity out there. The DR may be looking at a few wet days again.

An Eastern Pacific weather system may possible be forming - One forecaster suggested that he is saying this as an 'honorable mention' only as it is early days.

After last year's peaceful season, it it quite difficult to get myself ready and 'in the groove'. The expectation of the weather gurus remain that we are going to see an active season.

Watch this space for any future weather developments. This thread will be used for regular overviews of the weather patterns that could influence the local DR weather. The dedicated, loyal and wonderful local reporters will continue with their local reports. If there is a named storm tracking toward the DR, we will break off into a different thread.
