Watching The Caribbean

Posted by: WPBHurricane05, 00:29 GMT le 27 mai 2009

Would keep an eye on the Caribbean Sea during the second week of June. GFS long range shows favorable conditions for a tropical storm to spin up. Yes its 2 weeks from now, but this area is a hot spot for June storms.

Figure 1. Low wind shear over most of the Caribbean.

Figure 2. Lots of moisture where the low shear is.

If development does occur, it's not necessarily a harbinger of an active season. We saw a June storm in this area during both the 2005 hurricane season , and the 2006 hurricane season.

Figure 3. Tropical Storm Arlene 2005 track.

Figure 4. Tropical Storm Alberto 2006 track.

Update as of the 5/27 12Z runs GFS is still forecasting lower wind shear over the Caribbean. Moisture expected to be around the area during the period of low shear, but no surface low was forecast during this run. (Click for larger images) Member Since: 31 juillet 2006 Posts: 56 Comments: 7929

5/28 Update. GFS continues to show lower shear over most of the Caribbean. Doesn't show a real organized system, and I doubt it will this far out. Member Since: 31 juillet 2006 Posts: 56 Comments: 7929

Hello neighbor! Nah, not up for Ana or any other named storms, we're getting enough rain without them. Good to see Lake Okeechobee and Lake Osborne being filled. Member Since: 6 octobre 2005 Posts: 66 Comments: 6963
