HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY
FROM RALPH'S TROPICAL WEATHER!

EVENING TROPICAL UPDATE JULY 3, 2017 1103 PM EDT

INVEST 94L:
Storm Investigation 94L continues to slowly become better organized.  This 1011 mb is Low is between 33° and 34° West Latitude.   Although they say this system is nearly stationary it seems to have drifted more toward the West and West-Northwest.  Sahara air layer is still to the north of this system near 12° N longitude.  Being that this system is now at a lower Longitude it and along a monsoonal trough the showers are more numerous. 

NHC has now raised the probability of development to Medium chance within 48 hrs. and the High remains at 70% within the next 48 hrs for now.

TROPICAL UPDATE JULY 3, 2017 0421 PM EDT

RTW:  Ralph's Tropical Weather

Keeping an eye on the low near 3
4° West Latitude for development in the coming days.  Latest satellite animation shows a small circulation obscured by clouds and the showers are becoming more numerous as this system meanders for now at a lower longitude between 08° and 10° North.

Being at these lower Longitudes seems to have help this system a bit since the Sahara Air Layer is north of 12° North Longitude, and this low is within a moist monsoonal trough which is enhancing shower activity around this system.  

NHC is has up the LOW chance to 30% within 48 hrs. and the HIGH chance remains at 70% during the next 5-days.

Stay tuned here for the latest on Storm Invest 94 L

TROPICAL WEATHER UPDATE JULY 3, 2017 1140 AM EDT

A tropical wave that was part of a low pressure has detached and is now to the west of the low near 39° West Latitude. The low is now considered STORM INVEST 94L since probabilities for development are rising. The low has been meandering, and is now a bit further south around 09° North Longitude and near 33° West Latitude.  This may be a tad more favorable for development if it begins tracking westward at those low longitutdes and away from the Sahara Air Layer (African dust & dry air ) that is presently north of 12° North Longitude of where the low is located.

High pressure over the Atlantic north of this system will eventually begin steering this low to the west or west-northwest and north of the northern Leeward Islands as most models suggest.  Still to early to say if that forecast will hold because the atmosphere changes constantly.

NHC is giving this system a LOW chance 20% within 48 hrs. and has increased to HIGH chance 70% within the next 5-days.

EVENING TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK JULY 2, 2017 0937 PM EDT

The tropical wave near 33° West Latitude has been nearly stationary most of the day.  This wave remains in a area of Sahara dust and dry air and the shower activity has diminished some in the past 8 hours.  This wave has a weak low pressure associated with it and slow development is possible during the coming days as this wave resumes a westward track.  NHC is giving this wave a LOW chance 10% within 48 hours and has increase the MED chance to 60% within the next five days.  The Atlantic high to the north of this wave will help steer this wave toward to west to a west northwest. 

This is a wave to monitor closely into next week as it could move in the Direction of the Lesser Antilles or north of the northern Leeward islands and head toward the East Bahamas.  Most of the models suggest a turn away from the U.S. but some don't.  Still to far out in the future to worry about the track of this system.

Tomorrow's Severe Thunderstorm Outlook.


TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK JULY 2, 2017 0242 PM EDT

The wave is now near 33 west and continues tracking toward the west.  There seems to be more shower activity associated with it but Sahara Dust and dry air is still somewhat hindering development of thunderstorms.  NHC is still giving this wave a LOW chance 10% within the next 48 hours but has increased the MED chance to 50% within the next 5-days.  Stay tuned here for the latest on the tropics.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK JULY 2, 2017 0236 AM EDT

A tropical wave near 32°-31° west latitude is presently moving through an area of Sahara Air and dust.  Although there seems to be more convection (thunderstorms) showing on the latest satellite imagery, this dry air and dust seems to be hindering development of convection (thunderstorms) at this time.  Models still showing development in the coming days.

NHC is still giving this system a LOW chance 10% of development within 48 hours and a MED chance 40% of development during the next 5-days.  Stay tuned here for the latest of the tropics.
