| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | April began with dry weather but a wet pattern slowly emerged over the region by mid-April which led to lots of heavy rainfall towards the end of the month. A near stationary weather pattern was to blame for the longevity of the event as a mid to upper level trough remained northwest of the local area. This upper level feature in combination with a surface trough, a moist and unstable air mass and local effects resulted in the development of showers and thunderstorms across the local islands with the bulk of the rainfall in the Virgin Islands. The end result was moderate localized flooding in the Virgin Islands. In St. Thomas and St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the heavy rain and flooding forced school closings. St. Thomas airport recorded the greatest 24 hour rainfall accumulation of 3.40 inches on 23-24, and rainfall for the month was 3.92 inches above normal. Numerous flooded areas were reported on St. Thomas due to the heavy rains of Sunday April 22 and Monday April 23. St. John reported some flooded areas, but no major flooding problems were reported on St. Croix, although several homes in the La Grande Princesse area experienced flooding of yards and driveways. |
