Tropical Wave Moving Into Carribean 7/3/06
There's a wave with decent convection moving into the Carribean today, however, wind shear is 20 - 30kts from the west.

Before anyone asks,skysummit can make this new thread about this wave apart from the Atlantic Waves one because already the wave axis is at 60w in the Lesser Antilles with convection behind that axis.Remember that the Atlantic Waves thread is for waves between Africa and the Lesser Antilles.

Do the westerlies provide a good environment for ventilating the storms or just the interaction with the wave cause increased instability and thus increased convection asociated with the wave?

Oh, to think about the wave that we were talking about when it was entering the islands this time last year
...those were the days...these days the shear is so darn normal a respectable wave can't get any work done without being bothered...

Agreed. This isnt the time to get complacent; as soon as the shear relaxes the tropics may well explode into action. The pattern we are seeing now isnt all that unusual at all for early July.
