Tropical Wave in Western Caribbean

[Aric Dunn]

According to the NHC pressures continue to fall and outflow is becoming better defined per the 8:05pm discussion i posted above.

i have a werid question .. why is it .. that some people on here ... can post a very short sentence.. but the post be so big .. but most of it blank..
















its really annoying..

[Aric Dunn]

CourierPR,I edited the title to put Strong Tropical Wave instead of Disturbed weather as the Strong Tropical Wave is referenced in the 8 PM EDT discussion by TPC.

Thankfully, we're not staring at a naked swirl and trying to blow some life into it.

[and thanks for the title change Cycloneye.]

...Anyway, convection has definately concentrated over the northeastern Lesser Antilles. It will be interesting to see whether this persists overnight or not because if so we could possibly begin to see some cyclogensis begin tomorrow IMO.

Exverpt from 8:05 NHC Disc:

STRONG EASTERN CARIBBEAN TROPICAL WAVE ALONG 66W/67W IS BECOMING
ACTIVE WITH NUMEROUS MODERATE TO STRONG CONVECTION DEVELOPING
OVER THE NORTHERN WINDWARD ISLANDS...ANTIGUA...ST MAARTEN AND
ANGUILLA. SURFACE PRESSURES HAVE FALLEN 2-3 MB OVER THE PAST 24
HOURS OVER PUERTO RICO AND THE ADJACENT WINDWARD ISLANDS AND
UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONIC OUTFLOW IS EXPANDING AND BECOMING
BETTER DEFINED WITH TIME. IN ADDITION SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE NOTED
OVER THE PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN LESSER ANTILLES. ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WAS OCCURRING OVER THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC
FROM 18N-22N BETWEEN 61W-66W.

Why don't they just go ahead and make this INVEST97 already ?

[Aric Dunn]

Okay, 285 is somewhat W of WNW. I spoke of WNW and was quoted by others about where a WNW course would lead. My point was that true WNW will lead to where I said. But I am aware that these things are rounded off, with 285 being W of WNW. We'll see if the actual course turns out to be closer to 285 or 270.

if it continues to organize as rapidly as it did today, it will be an invest by tomorrow night.

Does it really matter to the board? It's like being married vs living together..only thing missing is to make it official..

[cpdaman]

WNW indicates a motion anywhere from 282-303 degrees (within more than one degree of accuracy)

the exact median of a WNW direction is 292.5 degrees (but then again this is just a matter of semantics)

Oh boy.Already some are talking about 270,280,285,300 etc,etc etc? when there is no well defined surface low to track?

A 1010.1 mb reading reported at 16.4N, 65.7 W. That's the lowest reading we've seen so far.--110 miles due south of eastern Puerto Rico.
