I Hope They're Wrong

     The latest cold front to swing down from the United States is predicted to be a very strong and lasting "blow" here in the Bahamas.  On Sunday, the winds are predicted to be from the south at 17 mph at 7am.  By 7 pm the winds are to taper off to 8 mph from the west.  But then the fun starts.  At 10 pm Sunday evening, the winds are to have clocked around to the NE and jumped up to 24 mph sustained and build on through Monday evening to 29 mph sustained.  Tuesday predictions are for the lower 30's (mph) sustained and to continue at 30+ mph as the winds clock to the east.  Then on Thursday the winds are to drop back into the upper 20's.  The current predictions go out to next Saturday where the winds will be in the lower 20's and still from the east.  It appears, by the predictions, that the cold front will stall and become a trough.  The only good thing about the current weather predictions is that those predictions for beyond 3 days from now can be thrown out the window because they really don't know what is going to happen.  Well, at least I hope they're wrong.
