PRECIPITATION OUTLOOKS caricof@cimh. edu. bb
Supporting probabilistic precipitation forecasts Nine data sources (incl. GPCs): 1) IRI multi-model probability forecast (only multi-model forecast that recalibrates & weights the models based on past performance); 2) UK Met Office GCM (UKMO) probability forecast; 3) European Center for Mid-range Weather Forecast GCM (ECMWF) and EUROSIP (multi-model) probability forecasts; 4) APEC Climate Center (APCC) multi=model probability forecasts; 5) WMO Lead Centre for LRF – MME. 6) CFSv 2 model 7) Météo. France Arpège model. 8) JMA model 9) Environment Canada CMC model Rainfall outlooks are generated next to T 2 m outlooks (see Appendix). Rainfall tendencies from supporting models and local expertise: 1) SSTs in the Niño region of the Pacific are currently slightly below average (Niño 3. 4 SST anomalies -0. 5°C). A majority of models suggests temperature anomalies to remain slightly negative, however, returning from borderline La Niña to coldneutral ENSO conditions. La Niña chances are decreasing from 20 -40% confidence for JFM 2017, down to less than 20% by AMJ. By contrast, return to ENSO neutral conditions is more likely 55 -75% confidence by JFM and 60 -75% by AMJ). Tropical North Atlantic SSTs tend to cool anomalously towards the end of a La Niña, and are currently slightly above average throughout the Caribbean Islands. Small positive SST anomalies are expected to persist throughout the region and portions of the Tropical North Atlantic during JFM, but mostly fade by AMJ. 2) La Niñas tend to shift rainfall chances for JFM to above-normal in the southern-most islands of the Caribbean, and belownormal in the Bahamas and Cuba. However, with the forecast ENSO conditions suggesting a weak La Niña at most, their effect on rainfall may not be dominant. 3) Warm SSTs within the Caribbean may lead to above-average humidity for JFM. Warm tropical Atlantic SST may also enhance air humidity levels. 4) Global models show limited signal as to the expected rainfall during AMJ, with probabilities showing climatology (equal chances for above or below) or models disagreeing between each other.

Cari. COF Drought Outlook By the end of February 2017 Coordination – CIMH – Dr. Cédric J. Van Meerbeeck caricof@cimh. edu. bb Participating territories Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Curaçao, Dominican Republic, French Guiana, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Haïti, Jamaica, Martinique, Puerto Rico, St. Barth’s, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Maarten/St. Martin, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago and the US Virgin Islands
Drought Outlook October 2016 to March 2017 Areas under immediate drought concern? Current Outlook Current update (December 2016): 2016 We continue to see no drought concern developing throughout the region. A drought warning is issued for Cayman. A drought watch is issued for most other portions of Cuba, Grenada, inland French Guiana, the Leewards (except Antigua) and Tobago. caricof@cimh. edu. bb Previous Outlook
Long-term drought outlook Concerns by the end of the Hydrological year (May 30 th, 2017)? Current Outlook • This 12 -month SPI-based drought outlook uses observations through November 2016, 2016 with potential impacts on large surface water reserves and groundwater. In general, impacts are expected if the 12 -month SPI is ≤ 0. 8 (very dry or worse – ref. : CDPMN). • A drought emergency is in effect for Cayman Islands • A drought warning is in effect for central Cuba, Grenada, SE Puerto Rico and Tobago. • A drought watch is in effect for N Belize, E Cuba, French Guiana, Jamaica, NW Puerto Rico and Trinidad. caricof@cimh. edu. bb Previous Outlook
Drought outlook – shorter-/longer-term concern? • Current drought situation (up to the end of November 2016): (more information here) – Grand Cayman is likely to experience its driest year on record with an observed wet season rainfall sum of only 50% of average. As a result, the island is in both short- and long-term drought. S Belize, central Cuba, N Leewards and Tobago are in long-term drought. – September, October and November rainfall was sufficient to continue alleviating adverse drought conditions from earlier in 2016 in most other areas • Shorter-term drought situation (until March 2017): – We expect a shorter-term drought situation to continue in Cayman and to possibly develop in Cuba, Grenada, French Guiana, the Leewards (except Antigua), and to possibly remain in Tobago. • Longer-term drought situation (until May 2017): – Longer-term drought is very likely to remain in Cayman (~90% chance) and potentially become more impactful as the dry (tourism) season progresses. It is evolving in central Cuba, Grenada, SE Puerto Rico and Tobago, and is possible in N Belize, French Guiana, NW Puerto Rico and Trinidad. – Though dry season impacts may be quite similar to the usual, longer-term drought will not likely be a major concern by the end of the dry season in other areas. – A borderline La Niña appeared since September and expected to fade by February. La Niña tends to suppress chances of drought during the dry season. The exception is the Bahamas and Cuba, where drought chances tend to increase towards March with La Niña.

Rainfall frequency and extreme forecasts – wet days and wet spells outlooks January to March 2017 Dr. Cedric VAN MEERBEECK 1 , Wazita Scott 1, Dr. Simon MASON 2, Ángel MUÑOZ 2, Dr. Teddy ALLEN 2, Dale Destin 3 1 Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH), Barbados 2 International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), USA 3 Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services caricof@cimh. edu. bb
Precipitation outlook Wet day frequency shifts Forecast for: January to March 2017 JFM 2017 Frequency of wet days USUALLY: Across the region during November-December-January, about 20 to 40 days out of a total of 90 days are wet days. FORECAST: DJF rainfall is likely to be above- to normal in much of the region, By contrast, below- to normal is forecast for Bahamas, Belize and Cuba. We forecast little change from the usual amount of wet days (very low confidence). caricof@cimh. edu. bb IMPLICATION: • Disruptions of outdoor activities by rainfall tend to be few as compared to other times of the year. • Surface dryness will increase faster in the extreme north and west of the region than elsewhere.
Precipitation outlook Wet spells frequency shifts Forecast for: December 2016 to February 2017 JFM 2017 frequency of 7 -day wet spells Wet days outlook DJF 2017 frequency of 7 -day very wet spells caricof@cimh. edu. bb USUALLY: Up to 3 wet spells (ABC Islands and coastal Guianas: up to 4) occur from January to March, with up to 1 of them ending up very wet (ABC Islands: up to 2; coastal Guianas: up to 3). FORECAST: DJF rainfall is likely to be aboveto normal in much of the region, By contrast, below- to normal is forecast for Bahamas, Belize and Cuba. We forecast little change from the usual amount of wet days, wet spells or very wet spells (very low confidence). IMPLICATION: • Little recharge of large water reservoirs expected at this time of year. • Depletion of large reservoirs during dry season likely slower than usual.
Precipitation outlook Extreme wet spells frequency shifts Forecast for: December 2016 to February 2017 JFM 2017 frequency of extreme (top 1%) 3 -day wet spells Wet days outlook Wet spells outlook Very wet spells outlook caricof@cimh. edu. bb USUALLY: Virtually no extreme wet spells occur between January and March, except in coastal Guianas (up to 1) which are in their short wet season. FORECAST: DJF rainfall is likely to be above- to normal in much of the region, By contrast, below- to normal is forecast for Bahamas, Belize and Cuba. We forecast little change from the usual amount of wet days, wet spells or very wet spells (very low confidence). Apart from the coastal Guianas, we forecast no extreme wet spells (high confid. ). IMPLICATION: Flash flood potential not a major concern until the end of March, with the possible exception of the Guianas.
