AFTERNOON TROPICAL OUTLOOK JUNE 5, 2018...0304 PM EDT

National Hurricane Center
...TROPICAL WAVES...

A low amplitude tropical wave axis is along 40W S of 12N moving 
west at 15-20 kt. Isolated moderate convection is noted where the
wave meets the ITCZ.

A tropical wave axis along 61W/62W S of 16N is moving west across
the eastern Caribbean at 15 kt. A surge of moisture associated 
with the wave is evident from TPW imagery. The Windward Islands
are currently reporting showers in the vicinity with the wave 
passage. The wave will cross S of Puerto Rico today, and will 
reach Hispaniola on Wed. Convection will be limited with the wave
passage due to the presence of African dust over the NE Caribbean.
A recent scatterometer pass indicates the wind shift related to 
the wave axis.

A tropical wave axis along 86W S of 20N is moving westward at 15 
kt across the NW Caribbean and Central America. Abundant moisture
is related to the wave based on TPW animation. The wave is
generating scattered showers and isolated tstms over parts of
northern Central America and the NW Caribbean. Moisture from this
wave will spread across the Yucatan Peninsula late today.
