Wx Update, E Caribbean, Sat01, 8am 6am gridded QuickScat: N of DomRep E to VirginIslands ENE 15-20kts. S of Puerto to 15S and E to the Leewards ENE10-15kts. S of 15N to N of ABCs and E to Windwards ENE15-20kts Coastal Venezuela Margarita to ABCs ENE 10kts. IMAGERY: Only small area of Squall S of DomRep and some showers near Trinidad are indicated in the IR Satellite imagery this morning. SYNOPSIS: Long-range models are still indicating little to no support for any Tropical Cyclone formation thru all of next week. In the E Caribbean High Pressure Ridging and Waves will continue thru the first week of Aug. A Wave with large amplitude is indicated in the satellite imagery is currently along 52W. Wave will continue to W at 25kts and will enter the E Caribbean Sat01 evening or early Sun02 morning. Wave will bring showers/squalls to the Windwards N as it passes. Winds will bump up a bit to 20kts as wave moves thru the E Caribbean Sun02-Mon03. OUTLOOK: Conditions will remain unchanged thru Sun02 when the High in Atlantic begins to move to the NE and the next wave enters the E Caribbean. Trades will continue brisk with only widely scattered diurnal showers/TSTMS expected. Pressure gradient will relax reducing the trades to 15kts Sun02 thru early next week. As mentioned above a Tropical wave near 52W will move into the E Caribbean Sun02. No Tropical Depressions or Storms expected thru next week. FCST Precip: Dry air over the region is dampening convective activity. Only slight chance for isolated showers over the region this weekend with and increase in showers Windwards N as Wave enters the E Caribbean Sun02.

Wx Update, E Caribbean, Thu30, 8am 6am gridded QuickScat: Data N/A over E Caribbean. IMAGERY: Area of Showers/TSTMs from E of St Vincent W to 69W and S of 16N to just N of Venezuela. SYNOPSIS: The Atlantic High 1026MB and its ridging continues as the main features over the Bahamas and Caribbean today. The ridging continues S of Bermuda thru Central FL and across the Gulf of Mexico along 27N. Ridging will begin to shift N over the weekend as the High moves a bit more to the NE. A tropical wave will move thru the E Caribbean today. This morning it was located along 61W from 19N S to Venezuela and moving W at 20kts. Water vapor imagery indicates deep moisture near the wave over the Windwards and is spilling into the E Caribbean from just N of Venezuela the waters S of Puerto Rico. Showers/Squalls are moving thru the Windwards this morning and are expected to build over Puerto Rico/DomRep this afternoon. OUTLOOK: Conditions will remain unchanged thru Sat01 when the High in Atlantic begins to move to the NE. Trades will continue brisk with only widely scattered diurnal showers/TSTMS expected. Once High moves NE pressure gradient will relax reducing the trades to 15kts Sun02 thru early next week. A Tropical wave near 31W Sof 24N is moving W at 15kts. A cyclonic swirl in low to mid-level flow is indicated in the satellite imagery. Moisture is available but dry air in the mid to upper level is reducing the development of convection near the wave. Wave will move into the E Caribbean this weekend. No Tropical Depressions or Storms expected early next week. FCST Precip: Showers/Squalls over the Central E Caribbean Sea will spread N to Puerto Rico and Dom/Rep this afternoon. Windward and Leeward Islands only chance for isolated showers thru Sat01.
