Tropical Weather Outlook

700 AM EST Wed Nov 14 2018
For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A tropical wave interacting with an upper-level low is producing
disorganized showers and thunderstorms over portions of the Leeward
Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and the
adjacent waters. Significant development of this system is not
expected due to unfavorable upper-level winds and interaction with
islands of the Greater Antilles. However, this system could produce
locally heavy rainfall over portions of the Leeward Islands, the
Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola during the next day
or so as it moves generally west-northwestward. This rainfall will
then spread across portions of the Turks and Caicos Islands and the
southeastern Bahamas by Thursday as the system turns northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…low…10 percent.

Description:
The Global Infrared Satellite image shows clouds by their temperature. Red and blue areas indicate cold (high) cloud tops. Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength is longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of terahertz radiation and microwaves. Weather satellites equipped with scanning radiometers produce thermal or infrared images which can then enable a trained analyst to determine cloud heights and types, to calculate land and surface water temperatures, and to locate ocean surface features.
