Africa and the Lesser Antilles. Two tropical waves are moving
across the Caribbean Sea.
A tropical wave is along 29W/30W from 4N-14N moving westward 15
to 20 kt. This wave shows up well as a low amplitude moisture
surge on the TPW product. Currently, scattered showers are near
the southern end of the wave's axis. African dust surrounds the
wave.
A second tropical wave extends its axis along 40W south of 15N,
moving westward 10 to 15 kt. Isolated to scattered moderate
convection is seen where the waves axis meets the ITCZ. Saharan
dust also surrounds the wave.
A tropical wave is moving across the eastern Caribbean. Its axis
is along 65W/66W south of 18N, moving westward 15 to 20 kt. A
patch of low level moisture with embedded showers is associated
with the wave, affecting Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The
wave will reach Hispaniola late today.
A tropical wave is along 88W moving west at 10 kt. The wave is
interacting with an upper-level trough resulting in continued
thunderstorm development across parts of the western Caribbean and
northern Central America. Scattered showers and tstms are now
observed near the northern end of the wave's axis. affecting the
east part of the Yucatan Peninsula.
