Re: Hurricane Rita Tracking West Northwest in the Gulf

Sorry to get away from Rita But we have a situation with Philippe. It appears,
As Philippe was moving north a couple days ago there was an upper low moving SW around
The top of Philippe It seemed then to be entraining moisture from Philippe and was beginning
Pop corn convection. The upper low has continued sw west as it is now near 25 north 61 west. It
Is Trying to work to the surface I would watch this feature as it could be left behind as the
Frontal zone takes the other part of Philippe out, and a high pressure builds into the north Atlantic
Over the weekend.
Also a tropical wave is approaching from the southeast which should aid with moisture.
It’s quite possible we could have another development In the Bahamas or Sw Atlantic by
Early next week. I’m thinking it could hang around and do an Ophelia or jeanne.
