Re: Bahamas and 35N 50W

That's true, but the rainy season this year hasn't been like previoius rainy seasons (2002-2005) where we had almost daily thunderstorms and a lot rain.

This year we've had 2-3 days of true convective t-storms from boundary collisions (June 16-20 timeframe here). Since Wednesday most of the convection has been right on the coast and pushed out the to sea. Most of this occuring after sunset.

Our true setup of the summer rainy period is a southeast wind in the morning and the west coast sea breeze colliding with that in the early to mid afternoon firing off thunderstorms that could produce prodigious rainfall amounts. That, imo, hasn't really set up yet.

Personally I wish it would get going because I like the thunderstorms and the rain.
