Little Blob of convection east of Windwards

[Gustywind]

Since this morning i've noticed this little blob trying to pop hours after hours, surely no circulation because with my untrained eyes i can't see much rotation but maybe activity has flared up nicely and decently....embedded in the ITCZ. Whereas i tkink afterwards that it's the strong activity of the ITCZ as the TWD mentionned it.....So there's nice activity in this area, but nothing more for the moment, let's see what happens Any thoughts on this? Comments are welcomed as usual too , tkank you very much.

...THE ITCZ...
THE ITCZ AXIS IS CENTERED ALONG 13N17W 16N26W 10N34W 9N46W
11N61W. A CLUSTER OF MODERATE TO STRONG CONVECTION COVERS THE
AREA FROM 7N-11N BETWEEN 51W-54W.
No so bad flare up , the cluster always there, but convection continues to pop without much rotation....nothing serious but as usual let's see watch what will happen during the next few hours....

Hey Abajan Trinidad should experience a nice little bath during the next 6H-12h with all this convection doting in vicinity ... hope that it's a welcomed rain for the citerns and refresh the carib spirits after the persistent and severe drought everywhere in the Windwards/ Leewards Islands.

Looking at the loop the shear is impacting a little a bit the blob but convection is popping nicely, numerous little tstorms ahead are occuring now with my untrained eyes... . Moreover a little area of showers near 19 N 57w can be seen, nothing especially nasty but just looking at.....

[bvigal]

Well, I just strongly disagree with the 8:05 TWD that says "STRONG SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE FROM
10N TO 11N BETWEEN 46W AND 48W." I think that's an error and they mean 56-58W.
TPW makes this almost look like another wave, plenty of moisture.

YEP absolutely BVIGAL i was a little amazed, that's why i prefer to not mention it , but i'm agree with you the activity seems where you wrote it in your reply good eye my Bvigal

Approaching and heading west near Trinidad Genada Grenadines and Barbados too...increasing convection, and begin to be etablished slightly to the north of this feature without much rotation....

Yes, I agree, bvigal. There's hardly any action between 46 & 48.

Gustywind, although Barbados had a pretty bad dry spell earlier this year, June was quite wet and since then we've had good rainfall on and off. Everywhere is lush green right now. Sorry to hear things have been so much drier in other islands.

Ok no problem i'm glad to see that some areas as yours has been green and wet , but most of the islanders more norther ( Leewards especially) were talking about a persisting drought In Guadeloupe the beginning of the month was green and wet and after the 15th of July the weather was very dry and yesterday things has changed tremendously, that's good news for us. Cycloneye was experienced a drought too, it's a good thing for him in Puerto Rico.

Well I was supposed to be going to the Emancipation Celebrations this afternoon and to the Finals tonight, but it looks like I will be staying at home with the radio and the TV. Here in St. Thomas we can see the rain coming across the gully and guage when to send the kids out to get the laundry off the line just before a downfall. This morning we didn't have a chance. It really came down hard and fast! The dryer will get a workout today.

It's still raining and it looks like this is an all day affair. OOH! Just heard thunder. The wind kicks up from seemingly all directions just before the downpours, making it a game for the kids to guess which windows to close and which can remain open.

All in all, lovely day to stay indoors.
