...MESOCYCLONE TYPE THUNDERSTORM IN THE NORTHERN GULF NOT TROPICAL IN NATURE...

 

I MENTION IN THIS MORNINGS OF RESIDUAL MOISTURE/ SHOWERS AND STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH CLAUDETTE THAT COULD BECOME STRONGER STORM AS THEY TRACK EAST TOWARD FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON.  

NORTH FLORIDA IS SEEING STRONG STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND NOW SOUTH OF LOUISIANA IS THIS HUGH BLOB THAT HAS DEVELOPED.  A MESOCYCLONE TYPE OF THUNDERSTORM NOT TROPICAL IN NATURE.  

I WILL WATCH IT CLOSELY BUT NONE OF THE MODELS ARE SUGGESTING ANY DEVELOPMENT HERE AT THIS TIME.  GUST NEAR THIS SYSTEM RANGE FROM 28-36 MPH.

Tropical Weather Outlook

200 PM EDT Mon Jun 21 2021

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical 
Storm Claudette, located over the western Atlantic about 150 miles 
east-northeast of the North Carolina Outer Banks.

A tropical wave located about 750 miles east-southeast of the 
Windward Islands is producing disorganized showers and a few 
thunderstorms.  Although shower activity has diminished some this 
afternoon, recent satellite-derived surface wind data indicate that 
the wave has become better defined since yesterday. Some additional 
development of this disturbance will be possible during the next 
couple of days before upper-level winds become less conducive for 
further organization by Thursday.  The system is expected to move 
westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

RTW TROPICAL OUTLOOK 

JUNE 21, 2021...1020AM EDT

GULF OF MEXICO, FLORIDA EAST AND THE BAHAMAS

THE GULF IS QUIET ACCEPT FOR THE NORTHERN GULF STILL SEEING RESIDUAL MOISTURE FROM TROPICAL STORM CLAUDETTE NEAR THE CAROLINA COAST.

THIS SHOWER ACTIVITY IS SCATTERED WITH SOME STRONGER ISOLATED STORMS OFF SHORE.  SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BECOME STRONGER LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS THEY TRACK EAST TOWARD FLORIDA. 

FLORIDA IS CLOUDY AND VERY HUMID AND CLAUDETTE MOISTURE IS SATURATING THE ATMOSPHERE AROUND THE STORM.  BAHAMAS COULD SEE SOME STORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS THE SUN HEATS THE SURFACE.

CARIBBEAN SEA

CARIBBEAN IS QUIET FOR NOW BUT THE SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN IS SEEING STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS OVER PANAMA WITH HEAVY RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS.  THIS STORM CELL IS BEING ENHANCED BY THE MONSOON TROUGH IN THIS REGION.

A WESTWARD MOVING TROPICAL WAVE NEAR 70° WEST HAS NO SHOWER ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH IT.  

EASTERN CARIBBEAN QUIET FOR NOW

NORTH ATLANTIC, CENTRAL AND AFRICAN COAST

 NORTH ATLANTIC HAS CLAUDETTE WHICH IS FORECAST TO MOVE OFF SHORE, BUT THE REST OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC REMAINS QUIET.

CENTRAL ATLANTIC HAS A NEW STORM INVEST WITH A LOW 20% CHANCE OF FORMING THROUGH 48HRS AND 5-DAYS.  I WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR IT.

THERE IS A WAVE BEHIND THIS INVEST MORE THAN LIKELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORM INVEST.  MODERATE SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE AHEAD OF THE WAVE WHICH IS NEAR 45° WEST.  BEHIND THERE IS ANOTHER WAVE NEAR 35°-33° WEST.  THIS WAVE IS VOID OF ANY SHOWERS AND STORMS.  

LAST WAVE IS ALONG THE COAST OF AFRICA NEAR 17°-16° WEST.  THIS SEEMS LIKE A STRONG WAVE WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS ALSO BEING IN ENHANCED BY THE MONSOONAL TROUGH AND THE WAVES INTERACTION WITH THE TROUGH.
