SW Caribbean Re-Fire!

#1 Postby Sanibel » Tue Sep 28, 2004 2:53 pm

Unexpected re-fire with hint of round organization.


Think we could have something here folks!


The disturbed area north of Panama and east of Nicaragua has flared nicely this afternoon. This is in prime climatology and is now on my screen...

Sorry to spoil the party here. :) but a big tutt trough is in the caribbean interacting with the tropical wave and divergent flow is causing that flareup.But yes Sanibel this is the area to watch in october as it is the climotological favored area however that TUTT has to go first.

Not terribly organized, but it has to sustain itself...

It's in a difficult corner, not only synoptically, but flow-wise as far as ITCZ drift into Central America.


I see those features north of it as weakening. This slow-to-start nature comforms not only with waiting out these features, but also with model timing.

Watch for night-time flaring as a sure sign...

Don't dismiss ANY possibilities with these Caribbean storms, folks. We get some of our nastiest from them. Opal, Mitch, Camille.

Furthermore, how many times have we seen divergent agitation cause convection that then roots down over favorable waters? In this case, the TUTT would actually be the indirect cause of the storm. Alex formed from the tropical flow off the Atlantic piling up against the CONUS border. This lifting eventually formed a surface Low and we know what happened to the season after that!


That is right in the climatological "sweet-spot".

Keep watching folks...

To my untrained eye, with the positioning of the TUTT the way it is, that area looks favorable for development. it's the E Caribbean that now looks unfavorable.

Whatever it is is going to get eaten alive if that TUTT low keeps moving that way like it appears to be doing.

Yesterday, Joe Bastardi said that the TUTT would serve to ventilate the system in the SW Caribbean.
