RALPH'S TROPICAL WEATHER- RTW

THREE WAVES IN THE ATLANTIC AND TWO ACCOMPANIED BY NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS.  THE ONE NEAR 35° WEST IS INTERACTING WITH THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE (ITCZ).  THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE STORM ACTIVITY IN THIS AREA AND EAST TOWARD THE AFRICAN COAST.

ANOTHER WAVE NEAR THE LESSER ANTILLES IS INTERACTING WITH A WEAK UPPER LOW WEST OF THE WAVES AXIS.  THIS IS HELPING TO ENHANCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER DOMINICAN AND ADJACENT WATERS.

THE BAY OF CAMPECHE (BOC) IS BEING MONITORED FOR POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT.  IF DEVELOPMENT OCCURS FROM THIS SYSTEM IT WILL BE ABSORBED BY A FRONTAL BOUNDARY FORECAST DROP INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO AND ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST U.S NEXT WEEK.

TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY.
