All in all this is turning out to be a comfortable day! Temperature is a comfortable 28/82 - slight breeze and cloud cover. No rain.
Ian has been moving northwesterly now for the last 4 NOAA updates (3 hours apart) and that is the first time that it has done that. The north move has started. But it also keeps moving west away from Jamaica, so we are not even in the potential tropical wind cone. NOAA has a whole bunch of different cones.
Other than what occurred on the eastern part of the island yesterday, Jamaica has been spared the wrath of Ian.
We are still going to get some moderately heavy rains this afternoon and probably well into the evening. But that can happen any given day in the tropics! And speaking of rain - it literally just started after being clear since this morning.
The eastern side of the island may be getting more rain than here - so we will be checking on flooding and landslides that tend to accompany heavy or extended rains.
Stay tuned!
