Storm Watchin Dan by that image it looks as if ithe wave has gotten its act back toegther. Ealier today the wave looked as if it was falling apart.



That's exactly what I was thinking, but I'm glad you said it first. *LOL* It looked like it was losing its punch before.

What's the geography of those islands down there? Maybe it was getting disrupted by mountains and now it's back over open water it's firing up again?

From the NHC 2:05pm discussion:

A TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 70W SOUTH OF 20N MOVING WEST 20 KT OVER
THE PAST 24 HOURS. THIS WAVE DOES NOT APPEAR AS ORGANIZED AS
YESTERDAY BUT IT STILL DOES SHOW SOME SIGNATURE. THE RAIN SWATH
ASSOCIATED WITH THE WAVE CURRENTLY COVERS 15N-19N BETWEEN
69W-74W. SOME OF THE SHOWERS IN THIS AREA ARE BECOMING MORE
CONVECTIVE THIS EARLY AFTERNOON. A LARGE AREA OF LOW CLOUDS ARE
BEHIND THE WAVE AXIS WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS. A FEW BUOY AND SHIP
OBS HAVE SHOWED A SLIGHT INCREASE IN TRADE WINDS BEHIND THE WAVE
AXIS.

Okay, question, what do the trade winds do to it? Is that good or bad?
