which tropical wave

#1 Postby wzrgirl1 » Mon Jun 25, 2007 9:06 pm

Hi folks,

My local news mentioned 2 tropical waves. One near Puerto Rico and one near the Bahamas.....I am confused as to which one is going to bring us (south florida) a higher chance of rain starting tomorrow night. Can someone differentiate for me. Thanks.

I think its the wave approaching Puerto Rico. The cloudiness north of Haiti is the eastern part of the ULL is and there is more lift on eastern sides of lows.I did post on another thread about those two areas combining into one messing mass which I think could happen tomorrow.

Systems are not strong enough for that to happen.

The ULL is real dry on the western side so that should make for less humidity today.

I see what you are saying about the moisture from the wave near Puerto Rico getting pulled northwest and wrapped into the ULL circulation.

The biggest storms on the east side of the ULL may miss south Florida, but we should see at least some moisture pumped as far north as Okeechobee.
