Quote: Storm Watchin Dan by that image it looks as if ithe wave has gotten its act back toegther. Ealier today the wave looked as if it was falling apart.
That's exactly what I was thinking, but I'm glad you said it first. *LOL* It looked like it was losing its punch before.
What's the geography of those islands down there? Maybe it was getting disrupted by mountains and now it's back over open water it's firing up again?
From the NHC 2:05pm discussion:
A TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 70W SOUTH OF 20N MOVING WEST 20 KT OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. THIS WAVE DOES NOT APPEAR AS ORGANIZED AS YESTERDAY BUT IT STILL DOES SHOW SOME SIGNATURE. THE RAIN SWATH ASSOCIATED WITH THE WAVE CURRENTLY COVERS 15N-19N BETWEEN 69W-74W. SOME OF THE SHOWERS IN THIS AREA ARE BECOMING MORE CONVECTIVE THIS EARLY AFTERNOON. A LARGE AREA OF LOW CLOUDS ARE BEHIND THE WAVE AXIS WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS. A FEW BUOY AND SHIP OBS HAVE SHOWED A SLIGHT INCREASE IN TRADE WINDS BEHIND THE WAVE AXIS.
Okay, question, what do the trade winds do to it? Is that good or bad?
