The Caribbean Sea

Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is noted from 12N-16N between 69W-78W. Additional scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is noted over western Venezuela and Lake Maracaibo as well as portions of northern Colombia. Very heavy rainfall yesterday and overnight may support localized flash flooding as long as the convection persists. Refer to products issued by your local weather service office.

Earlier scatterometer data indicated moderate to fresh trades across much of the basin, except light and variable winds in the SW Caribbean Sea in the vicinity of the monsoon trough.

Fresh to strong trades will pulse in the central Caribbean later this morning through Sat, with moderate to fresh trades continuing elsewhere. Trades will diminish basin-wide by the end of the weekend into early next week as high pres N-NE of the area weakens.

The National Hurricane Center has issued the last advisory on Nana, which has dissipated near the Guatemala-Mexico border, and is issuing advisories on Tropical Depression Omar, located about 400 miles east-northeast of Bermuda.

1. A non-tropical area of low pressure is located over the north-central Atlantic, about 600 miles south of Cape Race Newfoundland. This low is expected to move north-northeastward near 15 mph, and some slight subtropical or tropical development of this system is possible before it reaches cooler waters tonight.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

2. A broad area of low pressure located over the eastern tropical Atlantic several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms, while moving little. Gradual development is possible early next week once the larger tropical wave located near the Cabo Verde Islands passes to the north of the system on Sunday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.

3. A tropical wave located near the Cabo Verde Islands is producing an extensive area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Development of this system is expected to be slow during the next couple of days while it moves west-northwestward at about 15 mph. After that, a tropical depression is more likely to form early next week over the central tropical Atlantic where environmental conditions are forecast to be more conducive for development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

4. Another tropical wave is forecast to move off the west coast of Africa over the weekend. An area of low pressure is expected to form from the wave early next week. Gradual development of this low is then expected, and a tropical depression could form while it moves generally westward over the far eastern tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.

The axis of an 11 mph westward-moving tropical wave is along a line from north of the Leeward Islands southward to over Venezuela. Increased cloudiness with scattered to moderate showers and thunderstorms in some parts are noted over and or around some islands mainly from south of Guadeloupe to parts of St. Lucia and Barbados.

Crown Weather:

A tropical disturbance over the central Caribbean, which is currently flaring up due to a divergent flow from an upper level low pressure system to its north, is expected to reach the area near the Yucatan Channel around Monday and Tuesday.

It seems that there is less model guidance support today for tropical development in the northwestern Caribbean and the eastern Gulf of Mexico next week.

Clouds, clouds everywhere in the western Caribbean, with some high level from the NW causing a number of swellups and rain. Presently all Belize covered by cloud, the sun can be seen through some of it, areas of rain in southern belize now and on and off for much of the morning. More areas of cloud coming in for the rest of the day.

Looks as if today will be mainly cloudy, with some sun from time to time, and rain in many parts, some heavy down south.
