Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

Two tropical waves are moving across the Caribbean Sea, one in the Atlantic, and one is over the Yucatan Peninsula.

Aside from the convection associated with the waves, shallow moisture embedded in the trade wind flow is noted producing isolated to scattered passing showers. Fresh to locally strong winds are noted over the south-central Caribbean, including the Gulf of Venezuela. Moderate to fresh winds dominate the remainder of the east and central Caribbean, with the exception of light and variable winds over the SW portion of the basin. Mainly gentle to moderate winds are observed over the NW Caribbean. Seas are 6-8 ft over the south-central Caribbean, and 4-6 ft elsewhere. Fresh to strong trade winds and seas of 7-9 ft are E of the Windward Islands.

For the forecast, a ridge N of the Caribbean Sea will support fresh to locally strong trades E of the Windward Islands and across the eastern Caribbean through tonight. Winds are also expected to pulse fresh to strong in the south-central Caribbean, including the Gulf of Venezuela through tonight. A cold front is expected to reach the NW Caribbean Thu night into Fri morning, with seas building to 8-9 ft in the Yucatan Channel later on Fri.

A non-tropical low pressure system is expected to form off the east coast of the United States during the next day or so. The frontal low will move generally north-northeastward through the middle of the week, and the system will likely bring rain and wind impacts to portions of the mid-Atlantic and northeast U.S. coast. By the end of the week, the low could acquire some tropical or subtropical characteristics while it moves eastward away from the northeast U.S. coast.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.

The Atlantic basin remains quiet with no organized tropical systems, and no development is expected during the next few days.

The tropical season runs through the end of November and still has close to a month to go, so more tropical activity still remains possible. Wind shear may become more favorable for tropical development in the Caribbean in early November, but all is quiet in the Atlantic for the time being.

Crown Weather:

Tropical Development Remains Possible In The Western Caribbean Next Week: I think that there's the possibility for some sort of tropical development to occur in the western Caribbean next week. A tropical wave is now heading across the Windward Islands and will move into eastern Caribbean over the next couple of days and then into the central and western Caribbean by late this week. It still looks as if a piece of energy breaking off from a departing frontal boundary late this weekend and early next week may combine with that tropical wave to spawn some sort of tropical development in the western Caribbean next week.

I'm standing firm on my forecast that we could see some sort of tropical development next week in the western or even the southwestern Caribbean. Late season tropical systems during La Nina years (like this one) are common. In addition to this, an upward motion pulse of the Madden Julian Oscillation is expected to continue moving into the Atlantic Basin this week into next week.

The combination of the La Nina conditions and that upward motion pulse of the Madden Julian Oscillation could help to produce a tropical system in the western or southwestern Caribbean next week. I still put the chances of this occurring at around 30 to 40 percent or so.

The Caribbean winds are from the SE this morning, at least over north Belize, little or no wind further south, just a trace of high level cloud from the north. A cold bubble coming down from Canada, but unlikely to get to us.

Looks like today will be mainly sunny with cloud developing, no rain expected.

Our temperatures this year, have been very close to the long term average temperatures.
Long term averages are dotted red and blue lines.
But they have not been dipping down in September as is normal.
And now running uncomfortably high, both day max and night minimums.
OK, the evenings are getting cooler earlier, so some relief.
Then we had that unusual warm period in early October.
OK, so the rains did drop the temperatures last week, but now they are going back up again.

The heavy red and blue lines are the 31 day running averages.
The thin red and blue are the actual daily max and min. But the heavy lines for the last 15 days will be the daily max and min, not enough time for the running averages to show as yet.
The green line is just the smoothed mid point between max and min and has no real significance.
