Re: Watching the Wave Near Puerto Rico

Quote:

This wave is not going to go west much longer and it won't be a wave much longer. It should be Fay by Five according to recon info. There is no way this storm is going that far west, it will begin to follow the swirl to it's wnw which is going north of west and bend wnw soon and with the front there ... Fay is not going to stay and play in the Carib.

And, it is developing big bands on the north and south and as it strengthens it will feel the pull of the troughs to the north.



That may be the case in the near term with the system traversing the spine of Cuba. It's still too early to tell until there is a persistent, well defined CoC.
