Eastern Carribean
|
Question:
I appologize in advance for my ignorance, but how come none of the recent model runs are picking up anything from that wave that just entered the Eastern Carribean?
Is it simply because there is nothing there or the pressure in that area is not low enough for anything to develop?

Well i may not come up with such an educated answer(like the one you were looking for), but yes that wave and the wave behind it are in the tropical weather discussion in The NHC website. So we will probably see the model runs sometime this week.
A TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 59W/60W SOUTH OF 14N MOVING WEST
15 TO 20 KT. SCATTERED MODERATE TO STRONG SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE FOUND FROM 12N TO 18N BETWEEN 59W AND 62W.
THIS WAVE SHOULD ENTER THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA BY 1200 UTC
TODAY...BRINGING AN INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
A MODERATE TO STRONG SURGE IN THE TRADE WINDS WILL FOLLOW THIS
SYSTEM ACROSS THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA

I'm glad you asked that because I was looking at the satellite and reports last night and wondering the same thing. I know enough to be dangerous (so to speak) but I'm still learning all the jargon. I just know my "gut" is looking at some of these "blobs" and thinking uh oh.

Re: Eastern Carribean

I posted this earlier in another place and got no response. So, what do you guys think?
June 13, 2006
THE CARIBBEAN SEA...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE STRETCHES FROM THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN
SEA ACROSS CUBA AND THE BAHAMAS INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN
NEAR 28N77W BEYOND 32N74W. THE UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONIC FLOW
WITH THE RIDGE COVERS THE ATLANTIC WATERS NORTH OF 20N WEST OF
65W...AND PRETTY MUCH ALL THE CARIBBEAN SEA WATERS. AN UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE FROM THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC OCEAN...NEAR THE TROPICAL
WAVES AND THE ITCZ...IS SENDING UPPER LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW RIGHT
ON TOP OF THE 59W/60W TROPICAL WAVE. MIDDLE TO UPPER LEVEL DRY
AIR COVERS THE CARIBBEAN SEA SOUTH OF 18N BETWEEN 64W AND 83W.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD FROM EAST TO
WEST WITH THE 59W/60W TROPICAL WAVE...ONCE IT FINALLY ENTERS THE
EASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA...PROBABLY WITH THE 13/1200 UTC MAP.
All of you who are much more knowledgeable than I, what do you think?

I asked Clark about these waves earlier today, he said they would need to move closer to the Western Caribbean before they would do much, just to early in the season for much to happen that far east. But hey you never know.

From this sat picture it looks like it has potential. . . but of course, I don't understand the LLCs, etc. that make or break such a storm.

The big "blob" on the left is the one I was looking at.
When the discussions talk about the "v" shap, what do they mean exactly?
