The Tropical Weather Outlook

The broad area of low pressure, 96L, associated with a tropical wave is now over water, off western Africa. Environmental conditions appear less conducive for development. The system has a medium chance...40 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.

Shower activity associated with a tropical wave located about 450 miles east of the Lesser Antilles remains disorganized. Upper-level winds are not favorable for development but conditions could become a little more conducive for some development when the wave reaches the Western Caribbean Sea in 4 or 5 days.. This system has a low chance...0 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours...and a low chance...10 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days.

All interests here should monitor these systems for further development.

The SAL, has decreased in area and density. See Figs. 9 and 9a.

The Tropical Weather Outlook

Invest 96L, the broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave has slowed down. It is still located over extreme western Africa. Environmental conditions appear conducive for further development...and this system has the potential to become a tropical depression during the next couple of days when the low moves between the west coast of Africa and the Cape Verde Islands. After that time...conditions are expected to become a less conducive for development as the disturbance moves toward the west-northwest over the eastern Atlantic. the system has a medium chance...40 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours...and a high chance...60 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days. All interests here should monitor this system for further development.

Shower activity associated with a tropical wave located about 700 miles east of the Lesser Antilles remains disorganized. This disturbance is expected to move westward toward a region where the

upper-level winds are not favorable for development. This system has a low chance...10 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours...and a low chance...20 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days.

The SAL, has increased slightly in area and decreased in density. See Figs. 9 and 9a.

The Tropical Weather Outlook

A tropical wave located over western Africa is moving westward at 10 to 15 mph...and an area of low pressure could form after the wave moves off the coast on Friday. Some development of this system is

possible before upper-level winds become unfavorable by early next week. This system has a low chance...10 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours...and a medium chance...30 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days while it moves near the Cape Verde Islands.

Shower activity associated with a tropical wave located about 1300 miles east of the Lesser Antilles remains limited. Some slow development is possible during the next couple of days while the wave moves westward at about 15 mph and approaches the Lesser Antilles. After that time...upper-level winds could inhibit further development. This system has a low chance...near 0 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours...and a low chance...20 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days.

The SAL, has again decreased in area and increased in density. See Figs. 9 and 9a.

The Tropical Weather Outlook

A tropical wave along 88W early this morning will gradually exit the Gulf of Honduras today. A second tropical wave across the Atlantic will move W across the tropical N Atlantic waters this afternoon and tonight...then W-NW across the NE Caribbean Thursday and through the N central Caribbean Thursday night and Friday. A third tropical wave will approach 55W by late Saturday into Sunday.

This Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is currently along 35W/36W to the south of 19N...moving westward 20 kts. A 1012 mb low pressure center is along the wave near 11N. Environmental conditions appear to be conducive for some development of this disturbance to the east of the Lesser Antilles by early next week. This system has a low chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours...and a medium chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days. The feature is forecast to move westward across the tropical Atlantic Ocean 9 to 13 kts. Interests in the Bay Islands and north coast of Honduras should monitor this system for further development.

The southern portion of the SAL, along 20N, has again decreased in density and area. See Figs. 9 and 9a at http://roatanweather.blogspot.com/
