TROPICAL OUTLOOK NOV 8, 2018...0951 AM EST

Tropical Waves:

1.  A westward moving tropical wave near 20 degrees West is now void of any thunderstorms.  There are no signs of organization.

2.  A westward moving tropical wave near 48 degrees West  has some showers along the north a axis of the wave.  There are no signs of organization.

3.  A westward moving tropical wave near 73 degrees West is also void of any thunderstorms.  There are no signs of organization.

4.  A westward moving tropical wave across 86-85 degrees west is also void of any thunderstorms.  There are no signs of organization.

Troughs:

A surface trough near 65-64 degrees West is producing showers and storms along the northern axis of the trough just to the east of Puerto Rico.  This surface trough seems to be Interacting with an upper level trough northeast of the Bahamas and north of Puerto Rico.  Heavy rains with Gusty winds will spread over Puerto Rico later today as this trough tracks slowly westward.

Elsewhere in the tropics all remains quiet.

TROPICAL OUTLOOK NOV 7, 2018...1137 AM EST

Monzoon Trough:

A strong area of showers and storms off the southwest African coast is rather unusual for this time of the season.  However, conditions south of the 10 degree north is where the monzoon Trough is located and that has been one of the fuel source this season that has enhanced storms in this region.  There are no signs of development, but I will monitor it as it tracks westward.

Tropical Waves:

1.  A westward moving tropical wave located near 43 degrees west is not showing signs of tropical cyclone formation.

2. A westward moving tropical wave near 68-67 degrees west is also not showing signs of formation.

3.  A westward moving tropical wave near 82 degrees west is also not showing signs of organization.

Surface Trough:

There is a surface trough near 57 degrees west that is firing up showers and storms to the southeast of the troughs axis.  Southwesterly shear over the Southern Windward islands will prevent any organization at this time.

REMINDER TO SET YOU CLOCK BACK AN HOUR WEEKEND

BROKEN LINE OF STORMS STILL TRACKING EAST

Latest radar still showing strong but broken line of storms over the northeast Gulf, Panhandle and Alabama tracking east.  This line is prompting Marine warnings that could become severe thunderstorm warnings as it moves on shore.  Just a heads up!  RTW

COOLER, WETTER AND POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER FOR SOUTHEAST THIS WINTER

This is a precursor of what to expect this winter with EL Nino conditions.

A cold Front dropping a frontal boundary over the warm Gulf waters clashing with cold air from the north.

This will produce pre-front squall lines ahead of frontal boundary and enhance the severe storm chance with the possibility of tornadoes.

So unlike this past winter where we had La Nina conditions and dry weather and warmer winter this will be the opposite, wetter with severe weather, and colder temps...RTW
