West Carib Setup Looking a Lot Better
Posted by JAC on 6/8/2009, 7:16 am
Trop wave getting closer. Boundary-layer theta-e air continues to concentrate here. Convection has fired all night with tops over 55k-ft. at times. This has heated the mid- and upper-troposphere and altered the UL winds. WV shows good UL outflow in all radial directions indicating the UL winds have dissipated. This is ideal for development. UL-divergence bull's-eye directly over the convection. This may no longer be an MCS. VIS imagery today will tell us a lot. TUTT's farther north are ideally positioned to create a poleward outflow channel once a TC develops. May not be long now.    |
