CFHC Talkback For News Story #45:

Second Half of June
06:16 PM EDT - 18 June 2001

The second half of june should be much quieter. Rain has been occuring nearly every day in Central Florida for the past few weeks. Which is helping quite a bit from our dry spell. It still will take a while of this to get out of it, however.

Allison is gone for good now, after soaking many states and causing flooding as well as 45 deaths. That system will hopefully be our only June storm.

The only thing worth watching now is a wave to the east of the Caribbean, in the Atlantic, which is pretty well put together. It is entering an area hostile for development. It will have to be watched if it makes it across the Central Caribbean.

The storms in the Bay of Campeche have actually diminished a bit through the day, but the wave coming off the coast of africa is a monster. What are the chances for this one as it moves west? Ot looks very impressive. I hope this is not a sign of things to come in August. This is the second monster to come off the coast in the past couple of weeks.

Well it is organized but its to far south. So chances for development are almost none.

Is there a low associated with the wave located in the Atlantic? just curious I really don't think it will develope; it's just too early. Now, two months from now it might be a different story. How far south is it 8 degrees north? Well it's the only thing remotely worth watching currently.

that wave around 35W looks ok, but needs to persist a while. the tropical waves arent surviving across the atlantic to the likely breeding grounds in the western caribbean/gulf, so frontal troughs that stall out and die over water are a more likely formation candidate, for the meanwhile at least. one is going to reach the gulf this weekend.. when that happens in the summer it's always worth watching.

okay, i usually thumb my nose at waves east of the islands this time of year, but the one approaching 50W has been holding together today, and the associated convective cluster has been edging wnw. centered at about 9N.. a bit far south.. but it would clear south america on this trajectory. nhc analyzed a low on this wave at very low latitude a couple discussions ago.. since the convection has held for just over 24h im starting to watch it. if it's there 12 hrs hence i'll get interested. as for the frontal trough.. nothing doing so far.

It may be heresy, but we could be looking at Barry soon....maybe. Conditions are getting favorable and this wave has been playing cat and mouse for days, but it may be getting serious in wanting to develop. Convection is building and signs of turning are there. Let's see if they remain. Cheers!!
