Re: Two Areas In the Short Term

In reply to:

NHC is watching the low east of JAX which has a lot of convection building on this mornings IR pix. Also of note the wave east of the islands which is moving WNW and has been building showers and t'storms since last nite moving towards the windwards. Should get interesting today. The low near JAX is drifting east; will it do an about face under building high pressure?? CHeers!! Steve H.




Looking at
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/float-ir2-loop.html
One can see that the apparant center of the low NE of Jax is now moving NW. If that direction continues, it may encourage any moisture now in the NE Gulf to move more southward.

The Loop at http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/nwatl-wv-loop.html suggests this may be happening and the Gulf is being filled with a large mass of drier air. How does this fit in with development in the Gulf this weekend or next week?
