MODELS STILL SUGGESTING A DIP IN THE JET STREAM FOR THURSDAY!

MODELS ARE STILL HINTING THAT THERE WILL BE A DIP IN THE JET STREAM BY NEXT THURSDAY THAT COULD POSSIBLY USHER IN COOLER AIR SOUTH OVER THE FLORIDA PENINSULA.  THOSE OF YOUR THAT WANT SOME COOLER AIR CROSS YOUR FINGERS.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK OCT 20, 2017 1021 AM EDT

TROPICS GIVING US A BREAK AS IT CHARGES UP TO RELEASE MORE ACCUMULATED CYCLONE ENERGY BY NEXT WEEK.  I WILL BE MONITORING THE SOUTH AND NORTHWEST CARIBBEAN FOR HINTS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION.

SOME MODELS SUGGEST AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MAYBE A DEPRESSION TRACKING NORTH BETWEEN THE YUCATAN WESTERN CUBA AND MERGING WITH A FRONT AS IT SWEEPS ACROSS FLORIDA.  ANOTHER MODEL SUGGEST A TROPICAL STORM MAYBE A HURRICANE TRACKING NORTH OVER CUBA AND SOUTH FLORIDA.

I DO HAVE TO CAUTION YOU THOU!  MODEL FORECAST CHANGE EVERY RUN AND I ALWAYS LOOK FOR PERSISTENCE, HOWEVER AT TIMES IT TURNS OUT NOT BEING ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT.  BUT SINCE WE ARE STILL IN HURRICANE SEASON AND OCTOBER IS MOST DEFINITELY A MONTH TO WATCH IF YOU LIVE IN CUBA AND FLORIDA YOU NEED TO BE STORM READY.  SO CHECK BACK DAILY FOR UPDATES.

New ECMWF again showing 50s all over S #Florida next Thursday am- would be close to #Miami record of 55- probably too cold but I can dream.

A LOOK AT THE GFS AND EURO MODEL COLD WEATHER FOR EAST AND SOUTH

SEEMS LIKE GFS AND THE EURO MODEL ARE STILL HINTING AT A NICE DIP IN THE JET STREAM NEXT WEEK AT THAT DROP TEMPS FROM THE EAST TO THE SOUTH INCLUDING FLORIDA.  THIS COULD LAST INTO THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER.

EURO MODEL STILL HINTING ON A TEMPERATURE CHANGE FOR EAST AND SOUTHEAST

Looks like the EURO model is still suggesting that the east coast and Florida will see cold air moving in for next week.  Looking forward to a change in temps its be too hot this summer and fall.

TROPICS QUIET FOR NOW! 1032 AM EDT 10/17/2017

All of the sudden the tropics became quiet.  Invest 92L no longer being tracked by NHC and the rest of the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico is now quiet for now.  

I am looking at some hints of Caribbean development by next week as a front drops south and sweeps what ever develops in the northwest Caribbean, across Cuba and South Florida if at all.  Stay tuned here and I will keep you posted...RTW

OTHER THAN INVEST 92L WHICH NOW HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE 40% WITHIN 48HRS FOR DEVELOPMENT THE TROPICS REMAINS QUIET FOR NOW.

92L IS NOT A THREAT FOR THE U.S. MAINLAND BUT COULD COME CLOSE TO BERMUDA AND MAY BE  AFFECT IRELAND.

TROPICAL OUTLOOK 1044 PM EDT 10/14/17

1.  ...EYE OF HURRICANE OPHELIA PASSING SOUTH OF THE AZORES... ...EXPECTED TO BECOME POST-TROPICAL LATE SUNDAY OR EARLY MONDAY...NHC

2.  A STRONG TROPICAL WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK SURFACE LOW STILL HAS SOME POTENTIAL FOR TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION AS IT TRACKS NORTH AWAY FOR THE NORTHERN LEEWARD.   BERMUDA SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR SINCE IT COULD COME CLOSE TO ISLANDS...RTW

http://ralphstropicalweather.myfreesites.net

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK 0320 AM EDT 10/14/17

1.  OPHELIA STILL HANGING ON TO CATEGORY TWO STATUS AND SHOULD PASS TO THE SOUTH OF THE AZORES ISLANDS SATURDAY NIGHT.

2. STORM INVESTIGATION 92L CONTINUES TRACKING TOWARD THE NORTHERN LEEWARD.  RAINS IN SQUALLS SHOULD AFFECT THE NORTHERN LEEWARD AS THE AXIS OF THIS WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY.  THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF GUST TO GALE FORCE IN SOME OF THE STRONGER STORM CELLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WAVE.

THIS MODEL SUGGESTING COLD AIR FOR THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST

THIS COLD AIR IS FORECAST FOR OCT 28, 2017

TROPICAL OUTLOOK 0336 PM EDT 10/13/17

1. I WILL POST OPHELIA TRACK MAP AS SOON AS IT IS READY AND WILL POST IT ON THE WEBSITE SITE.  JUST CLICK ON (RALPH'S STORM TRACK MAPS) AT TOP OF SITE WHERE NAVIGATION BUTTONS ARE LOCATED.  I ALREADY POSTED THE 18Z MODEL RUN THERE. 

2. AS FOR THE STRONG TROPICAL WAVE EAST OF THE LESSER ANTILLES THIS MAY BRING FAST MOVING SHOWERS AND STORMS IN SQUALLS AS THE WAVES AXIS MOVES OVER THE AREA THIS WEEKEND. 

UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS ARE NOT FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME.  THERE SEEMS TO BE AN EXPOSED CIRCULATION WEST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS AND THAT MAY BE DUE TO THE FAST FORWARD SPEED THIS WAVE IS TRAVELING AT. 

THAT ALSO PRODUCES WIND SHEAR OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION AND HINDERS DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME.  UPPER LEVEL WINDS COULD BECOME MORE FAVORABLE AS IT TRACKS NORTH AND AWAY FROM THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS. 

SO FAR NONE OF THE MODELS ARE SUGGESTING A TRACK TOWARD THE WEST.  BERMUDA SHOULD MONITOR THIS SYSTEM BECAUSE IT COULD PASS CLOSE TO THAT ISLAND.
