Cal, what is that? WHERE is that?
TROPICAL WAVE ALONG 23W S OF 15N MOVING WEST 20 KT. LONG-TERM
IMAGERY FROM METEOSAT-7 SHOWS A WELL-DEFINED AREA OF CONVECTION
MOVING CONSISTENTLY WWD OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...NOW PLACING
IT NEAR THE LONGITUDE OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. HOWEVER...THE
WAVE IS LOW-AMPLITUDE AND IS NOT DETECTABLE IN THE DAKAR SENEGAL
SOUNDING. SEE ITCZ FOR RELATED CONVECTION.
TROPICAL WAVE ALONG 44W/45W S OF 17N MOVING WEST 20 KT.
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS EXPLODED WITHIN THE ITCZ NEAR THE
VICINITY OF THE WAVE...BUT THIS IS ALSO THE RESULT OF BROAD
UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE OVER THE AREA. SCATTERED MODERATE
CONVECTION FROM 8N-11N BETWEEN 42W-50W. ALSO SEE ITCZ FOR OTHER
CONVECTION.
TROPICAL WAVE ALONG 85W S OF 20N MOVING WEST 20 KT. THE UPPER
LEVEL SOUNDING FROM CURACAO SHOWS A WAVE PASSAGE OVER THE
CENTRAL CARIBBEAN ABOUT 2 DAYS AGO...BUT THE SIGNATURE IS
PRIMARILY ABOVE 850 MB. THIS SEEMS TO MATCH WELL WITH A POSITION
NEAR NICARAGUA/HONDURAS WITH A WEAK MID-LEVEL CIRCULATION MOVING
INTO THE GULF OF HONDURAS. CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE WAVE
IS LOCATED MOSTLY TO THE EAST OF THE AXIS...ALSO ON THE
DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF A CO-LOCATED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH...WITH
SCATTERED MODERATE FROM 12N-18N BETWEEN 78W-84W.
