I looked at the 500mb vorticy heights for the global models and they all show that there will be a high pressure ridge through 6 days in the NW Carib which should mean that whatever part of 90L will probably stay on a W or WNW course throughout the Carib. Am I looking at this the right way or wrong way? Any help would be much appreciated. Here is a link to the models I looked at:

Examine the 500mb vorticity heights and loop the animation.

Looks NW then WSW, obviously preliminary, but doesn't look like a sudden N turn.

The GFS closed this off near PR on one of the runs yesterday and then lost it near the SE Bahamas.

Here I went and found it, the 12z run......

ummm...invest heading WNW into the Caribbean with a building ridge and then a mega trough coming down late this week.

We should watch this one - could be the October surprise? I think most have checked out of the season...

Time to check by in :eek:

8pm TWD:

A TROPICAL WAVE IS LOCATED ABOUT 150 TO 200 NM E OF THE LESSER
ANTILLES ALONG 58W S OF 24N. THIS WAVE HAS BEEN WELL-DEFINED
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS AS IT TRACKS W 10 TO 15 KT. SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND TSTMS ARE MOSTLY WITHIN 400 NM TO THE E OF THE WAVE
AXIS. SFC OBSERVATIONS CLEARLY SHOW WINDS VEERING FROM THE SE E
OF THE AXIS TO THE ENE W OF THE AXIS. SOME OF THESE OBS ARE
RECORDING 20 KT WINDS WITHIN 200 NM E OF THE WAVE. FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT...IF ANY...IS EXPECTED TO BE SLOW TO OCCUR.

THE THIRD AREA OF UNSETTLED WEATHER IS JUST TO THE E OF THE
AREA...WITH A FEW SHOWERS BEGINNING TO SPREAD INTO THE LESSER
ANTILLES. THIS ACTIVITY IS ASSOCIATED WITH A WELL DEFINED
TROPICAL WAVE ALONG 58W WITH SOME INSTABILITY ENHANCEMENT FROM
AN UPPER TROUGH ALONG 54W. FOR MORE DETAILS...REFER TO THE
TROPICAL WAVE SECTION. AS THE WAVE MOVES WESTWARD...MOISTURE
WILL INCREASE AND SPREAD ACROSS THE LESSER ANTILLES OVER THE
NEXT DAY OR TWO. TRADE WINDS ARE LIGHT TO MODERATE AND WILL
LIKELY REMAIN THAT WAY OVER THE COUPLE OF DAYS DUE TO THE WEAK
PRES PATTERN.

time for this board to light up - I would say this is the most imminent threat the islands have had all season - although I say this with caution as development is only "slow to occur if any"

I don't have that option. Can you post a graphic?

Thanks - it doesn't look like it will gain much lattitude at all.

Nope, but may track toward the DR, according to the early plot map. Sorry, I don't know how to post graphics, so I just post the links.
