35 W ?

#1 Postby Ola » Wed Jun 25, 2003 1:47 pm

Question for cycloneeye.

What are your thoughts of wave at 35 west? It has cyclonic turning in the low level plus the convection has been on the increase for the past 24 hours after it almost disipated after leaving the African coast, making a nice comeback. Surface pressures are still high but I guess that could change if convection really fires up tonight. What you think? I know you are watching it.

I have a trip to Culebra next week so I was wondering.

You can see all of the sinking air west and north of the wave. Also notice the large trough enhancing shear near 50W. Its something to keep an eye on but conditions aren't favorable.

Yes I agree with TWW on the dry air ahead of it and also that wall of shear west of 50w that makes the area not favorable however it has to watched just in case enviromental conditions change but I dont see that happening at this time but OLA if you are going to Culebra next week that wave may bring an increase in the showers by sunday night until monday but the rest of the 4th of july week looks good for PR at this time but keep checking here as I do the tropics at the weathercentral section at storm2k if any changes happen.
