805 PM EDT SAT JUL 24 2016
...TROPICAL WAVES...
A 1011 mb low is centered over the eastern Tropical Atlantic
near 13N28W, moving west at 5 kt. The low is in a very moist
area as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. A 700
Mb low is also noted at the same location. Scattered showers are
within 120 nm of the center.

Re: Tropical Wave with 1011 low at 13N 28 W in Eastern Tropical Atlantic
This wave actually cleared the SAL as far north as the Cape Verde islands so the wave train is migrating north.
Not much time before the end of July for one of these waves to develop though.

A tropical wave is in the eastern Atlantic from 09N-19N with axis
near 29W, moving W at 10 kt within the last 24 hours. The wave is
associated with a 1011 mb low centered near 13N29W. Meteosat
composite imagery show Saharan dry air and dust intrusion into the
wave environment, which is hindering convection at the time.

I'm not holding out much hope for this one but the SSTs are certainly warm enough in the MDR and it won't be long before Cape Verde systems get cranking
(I think

Re: Tropical Wave with 1011 low at 13N 28 W in Eastern Tropical Atlantic
Not much action with this one as the low pressure attached with it is a... weak low without deep convection
. Anyway, let's hope that beneficial rains could spread on much of the Eastern Carib islands if this twave could main some convection during it treks towards us. We have to wait and see as unfavorable conditions (dry air and dust especially) continue to destroy these twaves at least... for now.

Tropical wave in the east Tropical Atlantic extends from 18N30W
through a weak 1012 mb low near 14N31W to 9N31W moving west 10
to 15 kt over the past 6 hours. Wave coincides with a well

No mention of the previous low pressure... who has disapared for sure. Dusty and dry air conditions continues to hinder developpement.

A tropical wave is in the central Atlantic from 09N-18N with axis
near 34W, moving west at 10 kt within the last 24 hours. CIRA LPW
imagery show moderate moist from the surface to 850 mb associated
with this wave and global model guidance show a low at 700 mb
coinciding with the wave axis location. The latest scatterometer
pass show that the low is now reflected at the surface with a
pressure of 1011 mb near 12N34W. Even though there is a divergent
environment at the upper levels, the presence of abundant Saharan
dry air and dust seems to hinder convection at the time.

Re: Tropical Wave along 42W
By the way, even if this twave does not seem to have a solid potential of developpement... our pro mets of Meteo-France Guadeloupe said that moderate to strong showers and tstorms should somewhat spread on us beginning Friday night till Sunday night. So, i will keep your informed if anything happens in case of.

Re: Tropical Wave along 42W
Interresting discussion from San Juan NWS. Let's hope islanders in the EC that this wave could bring some decent amount of water
. We will see.
Stay tuned.

An active tropical wave...currently located in the central
Atlantic it is expected to approach the local area by Sunday. At
this time...models agreed on the timing of the wave but disagree
somewhat on the strength of the wave. The ECMWF model forecast a
stronger wave affecting the local area...compared to the GFS. The
most important thing it is that both models agreed on active
weather beginning on Sunday morning and continuing through Monday
morning. We will continue to closely monitor the evolution of this
wave next few days. Stay tuned.

A tropical wave is over western Tropical Atlantic from 15N55W to
08N55W, moving west 10 to 15 kt over the past 24 hours. This is a
fairly weak and low amplitude tropical wave with very limited
moisture. It is entering an area with fairly dry mid to upper
levels and westerly shear. If the tropical wave persists through
this area it will have little influence on the sensible weather
for the next several days as it tracks west.
