NOGAPS Sayeth

Tropical Depression Four has strengthened into Tropical Storm Dean, but NOGAPS weakens it after it crosses the Antilles, and wipes it out over Cuba. Hope that is so.

A cold front should bring heavy rain to western Queensland on Friday, and some showers to the Brisbane area on the weekend. Not much rain in Brissy, but you take what you can get. Still, it makes you wonder why one can't get more rain from them, like what happens in the Northern Hemisphere.
