...TROPICAL WAVES...
A tropical wave with strong signature has been added to the
surface analysis over western Africa from 02N to 20N along 11W.
A squall line precedes the wave by about 90 nm, and a cluster of
strong convection has moved off the African coast to within
75 nm of 09N16W. The longitude of wave axis will likely be adjusted
as it passes sites of radiosonde launches over the next few
days.
A tropical wave is analyzed along 31.5W from 02N to 18N, and is
estimated to be progressing west at 18 kt. Isolated moderate
convection is observed from 04N to 14N within 210 nm either side
of the wave axis.
A tropical wave is analyzed across the east Caribbean from 09N to
20N along 63W and is moving west about 18 kt, but should soon
begin to slow it's forward progression as it continues southwest
of the a surface high near 30N52W. Isolated showers and tstms
are observed within 210 nm of the wave.
A tropical wave is moving west through the central Caribbean and
is currently analyzed along 74W and extends north across the
Mona Passage and south across northern Colombia. Isolated
showers and tstms are enhanced near the wave across northwest
Venezuela and northeast Colombia, with a few showers and tstms
also noted along the wave at 17N.
Another tropical wave is along 87.5W and will pass across the
Yucatan Peninsula and portions of central America late today.
Only isolated showers currently accompany the wave. This wave
will likely lose identity on Tue as it merges into a broad low
pressure over the East Pacific along 95W where conditions are
expected to become favorable for tropical cyclone formation late
this week. Numerous strong convection is currently observed
across the far southwest Caribbean between two tropical waves.
