Could this be Bonnie, besides the two waves in the Atlantic. Which one developes first.

TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED OVER THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND GUATEMALA ALONG 90W S OF 20N MOVING W 15-20 KT. ALTHOUGH PROBABLY CAUSED MORE BY THE DIURNAL SEA BREEZE...SCATTERED MODERATE/STRONG CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE WRN YUCATAN PENINSULA STRETCHING SWD ACROSS S MEXICO AND GUATEMALA FROM 13N-22N BETWEEN 89W-94W.

Diurnal activity occurs across the land more so than the water. We see both convection across both.

Just some diurnal effect convection as the TW passed over Yucatan. Checking WV imagery one can easily see why the GOM is about to be shut down for now, dry air and increasing UL winds will keep the Gulf quiet for now.

Yes Dean4, quiet and insufferably hot for those of us "fortunate" enough to reside under the big high expanding eastward over the central Gulf Coast the next several days.

A very humid 97 degrees forecast for the area tomorrow with nada chance of precip. :cry:

Andrew '92, Katrina '05, Gustav '08, Isaac '12, Ida '21...and countless other lesser landfalling storms whose names have been eclipsed by "The Big Ones".
