Potential for Tropical Trouble...
* Watching the Caribbean Sea with great interest this evening. A cluster of thunderstorms, sometimes called a "tropical wave", continues over the southern Caribbean. This cluster of thunderstorms will gradually move into an area where upper level winds are favorable for some tropical development. It's too early to get concerned, but the overall pattern is a worrisome one for the Gulf Coast.* Here's a portion of the latest outlook from the National Hurricane Center:
CLOUDINESS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE OVER A LARGE PORTION OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA. THE SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS BECOME A LITTLE MORE CONCENTRATED SOUTHEAST OF JAMAICA TONIGHT IN ASSOCIATION WITH A WESTWARD MOVING TROPICAL WAVE. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION AT THIS TIME...UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BECOME FAVORABLE FOR SOME DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO...AS THE SYSTEM MOVES OVER THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA.
* We'll be watching it closely...
