TROPICAL WAVE ALONG 56W SOUTH OF 18N MOVING WEST NEAR 15 KT.
THIS WAVE CONTINUES TO BE WELL DEFINED IN SATELLITE WITH AN
IMPRESSIVE AREA OF NUMEROUS MODERATE/STRONG CONVECTION ALONG AND
TO THE EAST OF THE AXIS WITHIN 100 NM EITHER SIDE OF LINE 9N57W
16N49W. THE MID/UPPER LEVEL FLOW NEAR THE WAVE REMAINS DIFFLUENT
WITH A WEAK TROUGH TO THE WEST AND WELL DEFINED RIDGING TO THE
EAST. THIS FAVORABLE UPPER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO MOVE WESTWARD
WITH THE WAVE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS ALLOWING
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO SPREAD OVER THE WINDWARD/LEEWARD
ISLANDS LATER TONIGHT INTO WED. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND SQUALLY
WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE WAVE PASSAGE.
