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? Kimberley Clark |
