TRACKING THE TROPICS 0409 PM EDT AUG 17, 2017


RTW: Review of the Tropics

1. A Storm INVEST has that moved off the southwest African coast a few days ago is being monitored for development during next week.

2. INVEST 92L is having a difficult time developing with 91L ahead of it and also dry air.  As this system trackis north of the Leeward islands this weekend the upper level conditions and ry air become less favorable for development.  It will be monitored closely since some models

4. Showers and storms over Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and the Atlantic water east of the eastern Bahamas is associated with a strong mid to upper level low.  This low is producing enough upper level lift to the east of the circulation and is enhancing thunderstorm along a tropical waves axis which is located over eastern Dominican Republic.  Dry air accompanies the low but behind it showers and thunderstorms which will move across the greater Antilles and Florida by the weekend.  At this time there are no signs of tropical cyclone formation, but one model suggest some development.  Maybe sub-tropical or tropical in nature.  Keep a close eye on this one since its close to Florida.  Heavy rains, thunderstorms in squalls will affect the east Bahamas this evening as it tracks west...RTW
