Re: Why are the winds so strong in the Caribbean?
|
Mainly because it is June and we have a trough moving into the western Caribbean and a TUTT low hanging out near the eastern tip of Cuba/Caicos, with a building ridge in the Atlantic funneling deep tropical moisture into the SE states. There is a nice circulation at about 30W today, but its so damn dry out in the Atlantic due to the ridging and consequently subsidence. But wildcat, nothing unusual. The tropics will heat up in the next 4 - 6 weeks; maybe sooner. Cheers!!
