tropical weather discussion for north america...central america...gulf of
mexico...caribbean sea...northern sections of south america...and atlantic ocean to the
african coast from the equator to 32n. the following information is based on satellite
imagery...meteorological analysis...weather observations...and radar.
based on 0600 utc surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1015 utc.
...tropical waves... a tropical wave is located (point of interest #1) along 37w south of
20n moving w at 20 kt. satellite imagery shows a classic inverted-v signature ...and the
tpw product from cimss shows a bulge of moisture. scattered showers covers a large area
(point of interest #2) from 5n-23n between 34w-40w. scattered moderate convection is
along the itcz (point of interest #3) from 7n-10n between 36w-39w.
a tropical wave is along 52w s of 18n moving w near 20 kt. this is a low amplitude wave
with scattered moderate convection along the itcz (point of interest #4) from 9n-10n
between 50w-53w.
the high amplitude tropical wave over the e caribbean has broken. the n part is moving
nwd over the w atlc as a surface trough while the remainder of the wave is (point of
interest #5) along 72w s of 21n moving w at 20-25 kt. the axis currently extends s of
hispaniola to nw venezuela. scattered showers are within 90 nm of the wave axis over the
caribbean. scattered moderate to strong convection is inland over venezuela (point of
interest #6) from 6n-10n between 67w-73w.
a tropical wave is over s mexico (point of interest #7) along 94w s of 21w moving west
at 20 kt. the wave is generating scattered showers and isolated tstms over the bay of
campeche s of 21n. clusters of scattered moderate to isolated strong convection are over s
mexico (point of interest #8) from 14n-18n between 94w-98w. ...the itcz... itcz axis is
centered along (point of interest #9) 12n16w 11n20w 13n30w 9n45w 11n62w. besides
the convection mentioned in the tropical wave section... a large cluster scattered moderate
to strong convection is along the coast of w africa (point of interest #10) from 10n-15n
between 17w-23w. scattered moderate convection is e of trinidad (point of interest #11)
from 10n-11n between 57w-59w.
...discussion...
gulf of mexico... tropical depression edouard is weakening across central texas. edouard
is located near (point of interest #12) 31.8n 97.7w...or 30 miles west-northwest of waco
texas moving to nw at 13 kt. minimum central pressure is 1011 mb. edouard is still
producing a good amount of precipitation over inland e texas. a weak 1019 mb high is
over the ne gulf of mexico near (point of interest #13) 29n87w. a tropical wave is over
the bay of campeche. see above. elsewhere...scattered showers are over the se gulf of
mexico (point of interest #14) from 23n-26n between 81w-85w. mostly fair weather is
over the remainder of the gulf. in the upper levels... an upper level high is over ne texas
due to edouard. a small upper level low is centered over the bay of campeche near (point
of interest #15) 21n95w. considerable upper level moisture covers the entire gulf of
mexico. expect scattered showers over eastern and southern gulf of mexico during the
next 24 hours especially over the bay of campeche.
caribbean sea... a tropical wave is over the e caribbean sea. see above. a 1008 mb low is
centered inland over n colombia near (point of interest #16) 9n74w. scattered moderate
convection is off the coast of central cuba (point of interest #17) from 19n-21n between
77w-82w. elsewhere...scattered showers are over panama...costa rica...and nicaragua. in
the upper levels...an upper high is over the yucatan peninsula near (point of interest #18)
20n87w. an upper low is centered n of hispaniola near (point of interest #19) 21n73w.
diffluence w of the center is enhancing convection over cuba and jamaica. expect the
tropical wave to move w with scattered showers over the next 24 hours.
atlantic ocean... a 1021 mb high is over the central atlantic near (point of interest #20)
29n53w. a surface ridge axis extends w to n florida near (point of interest #21) 29n80w.
a surface trough is e of the bahamas from (point of interest #22) 28n69w to 23n72w.
scattered moderate convection is (point of interest #23) from 23n-25n between 71w-
73w. a 1019 mb high is over the e atlantic near (point of interest #24) 35n17w. in the
upper levels...a ridge is over the w atlantic n of 25n between 70w-80w. an upper level low
is over the w atlantic n of hispaniola near (point of interest #25) 21n73w. another upper
level low is centered near (point of interest #26) 20n53w. yet another upper level low is
centered near (point of interest #27) 16n34w. a large upper level high is over the central
atlantic near (point of interest #28) 33n40w. an upper level trough is n of 27n e of 30w.
expect...the tropical wave along 37w to be a good source of scattered showers over the
tropical atlantic over the next 24 hours.
