Re: Wave East of Caribbean Likely to Develop Today or Tomorrow

Buoy 41041 is located near 14.1N/ 46.0W and is the closest buoy to 91L. ( It's actually the first buoy that tropical waves encounter after leaving the Coast of Africa.)

41041 should be located within 91L's western periphery and latest data indicates the pressure is falling and the wind speeds are up in the 20 kt range gusting to near 30 kts. Pressure is still on a diurnal cycle but is lower than it has been in the last 5 days.
