CaneTalk: Heavy convection in the Carib

Heavy convection in the Carib

Posted by JAC on 9/23/2009, 1:49 pm

Strong cells are firing and throwing off outflow boundaries.

Three can be seen in the VIS loop:

Also, the Yucatan Buoy shows the pressure spike from the outflow boundary.

55K-ft cell east of Nicaragua.

Overall good UL divergence, but nothing rotating near the surface yet.

Shear is low east of the Yucatan.
