The only mention I can find is in the TWD from tonight. Checked Tampa, Melbourne and Miami NWS Forecast Discussions...No mention. From the 8 PM EDT Trop. Weather Discussion-edited~danielw W CARIBBEAN TROPICAL WAVE FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS INTO PANAMA JAMAICA ALONG 81W/82W MOVING W 25 KT. LONG-TERM SATELLITE LOOPS SUGGEST THAT THE WAVE ACCELERATED AS IT MOVED THRU THE CARIBBEAN WITH TSTMS SW OF GRAND CAYMAN LIKELY MARKING THE WAVE'S POSITION. THIS WAVE IS ALSO THE LEADING EDGE OF AFRICAN DUST BUT MOST OF THE DUST IS STILL IN THE CARIBBEAN SEA. ISOLATED MODERATE CONVECTION WITHIN 75 NM OF 17N83W. CARIBBEAN... WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS VERY LITTLE DEEP MOISTURE OVER MOST OF THE CARIBBEAN WITH MOST DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL WAVES. DRY AIR WITH SUSPENDED AFRICAN DUST IS SPREADING W INTO THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN THOUGH IT APPEARS TO BE THINNING A BIT AS IT MOVES WESTWARD. ATLANTIC... VERY DRY AIR IS PRESENT W OF 45W IN THE DEEP TROPICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAHARAN DUST OUTBREAK. DEEP EASTERLY FLOW S OF THE RIDGE HAS ENOUGH UPPER DIFFLUENCE AND AVAILABLE MOISTURE TO SUPPORT CONVECTION NEAR THE ITCZ AND E ATLC TROPICAL WAVE. LARGE AREA OF SAHARAN DUST COVERS MOST OF EASTERN ATLANTIC... WITH MAIN CONCENTRATIONS S OF 23N W OF 42W AND N OF 17N E OF 40W TO THE AFRICAN COAST. |
