Re: Tropical Wave in Caribbean
Interesting thing, I don't want to make a new topic for it but there's a big convection-less swirl in the Atlantic above Brazil east of the Windwards. Interesting since this is like that other naked system last week. In my "2006 Repeat" thread I made a note to look out for another dry circulation and there it is.

Re: Tropical Wave in Caribbean
NHC-8:05PM Discussion...
TROPICAL WAVE MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN IS ALONG 71W S
OF 18N. SOME OF THE ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WAVE APPEARS TO
HAVE BROKEN OFF TO THE N OF HISPANIOLA...AND IS POISED TO TRACK
NWWD AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE ATLC SFC RIDGE. THIS PORTION
IS BEING ANALYZED AS A TROUGH N OF HISPANIOLA. THE CARIBBEAN
PORTION IS TRACKING WWD 15-20 KT. SCATTERED MODERATE TO
ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION IS OVER HISPANIOLA FROM 15N-20N
BETWEEN 68W-72W. SCATTERED MODERATE TO STRONG CONVECTION IS
INLAND OVER N COLOMBIA AND NW VENEZUELA FROM 5N-11N BETWEEN
68W-74W.

Re: Tropical Wave in Caribbean
The ULL near Cuba that should be a steering element hasn't moved much today. I had expected it to roll west but what do the forecasters think?

Cool, good to know.
It was announced this morning on the POD and the PSBL Tasking is covered on page 22.

Re: Tropical Wave in Caribbean
I thought you guys might be interested to know that the wind is right now blowing out of the north just to the west of the wave in Les Cayes, Haiti and out of the south in Barahona, DR just to the east.

Re: Tropical Wave in Caribbean
From the water vapor imagery it appears both ULL's are weakening.
That just confirms the GFS analysis.



Looks like high pressure will push all the way west till it borders with the flow in front of trough. Now the missing piece of the puzzle is the location/speed of development of LLC formation.
Generally (for the southern part of the wave) South and Slow development would yield more of a left track north and fast means fish.

Re: Tropical Wave in Caribbean
yes this little blob just exiting South America and forecast by the NAM model to move up towards the Yucatan could be interesting if it can flare up enough..something to watch though

I did notice a little mid-level rotation down there that doesn't seem to be from a collapsing T-storm I don't see how it gets drawn that far north though. But a large trough lifting out to the North, I guess it deserves a wait see.

Re: Tropical Wave in Caribbean
The front is really digging south so only the southernmost part of the wave has much chance of being a gulf threat. That blob near 12N looks interesting. Thanks for the NAM link Aric!

Re: Tropical Wave in Caribbean
The area coming off South America.
http://hadar.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis ... al/204.jpg
Could this become what 57 was speaking of a couple of days ago possibily crossing the Yucatan and becoming something of a rain maker for Texas?
