Good evening everyone. Hurricaneville continues to monitor things throughout the Atlantic Tropics. Earlier in the day, the two tropical waves being watched by the National Hurricane Center in the Eastern Atlantic were the topic of discussion in the blog. However, let’s not forget about the remnants of what was Tropical Storm Erika, which are still causing problems in the Caribbean.

According to the latest report from the Weather Channel this afternoon, Erika’s remains were still fighting in both Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola. Rainfall amounts across the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are averaging 4 inches per hour while some locations at higher elevations have seen approximately 7.58 inches. As the Labor Day Weekend progresses, interests in both Hispaniola and the Southeastern Bahamas as well as the Turks and Caicos better beware of torrential downpours.

Looking at the national infrared satellite imagery from TWC, there is a lot of shower and thunderstorm activity across the Sunshine State of Florida as a frontal boundary tries to drive into the moisture down there. The rainfall is most significant down in Southwestern Florida, and the Florida Keys, where a nice ball of convection is producing showers and storms there. However, none of this is showing any signs of tropical formation at the moment.
