A TROPICAL WAVE EXTENDS FROM 13N41W TO 6N41W MOVING W AT 15-20
KTS. THIS WAVE ALSO COINCIDES WITH A NWD SURGE IN DEEP LAYER
MOISTURE EVIDENT IN TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY. HIGHER
MOISTURE VALUES LIE TO THE W ALONG THE ITCZ AND ALSO MATCH WHERE
THE AREAS OF CONVECTION ARE. SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION IS
FROM 5N-9N BETWEEN 43W-49W. MORE CONVECTION IS FARTHER W AND
WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THE ITCZ SECTION.

TROPICAL WAVE EXTENDS FROM 06N45W TO 12N44W MOVING W NEAR 20-25
KT. THE WAVE IS EMBEDDED WITHIN A BROAD AREA OF DEEP LAYERED
MOISTURE BETWEEN 40W-49W AS EVIDENT IN TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER
IMAGERY. THE WAVE REMAINS LARGELY SUPPRESSED SOUTHWARD ON THE
SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A STRONG CENTRAL ATLC RIDGE ANCHORED BY A
1030 MB HIGH CENTERED NEAR 32N49W. SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION

IMAGERY. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT RUNS FROM 30N37W TO
NORTHWESTERN VENEZUELA IS INTERACTING WITH THE WAVE. SCATTERED
MODERATE TO ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION IS IN THE

A TROPICAL WAVE EXTENDS FROM 12N51W TO 7N53W MOVING W NEAR 10
KTS. OVER THE PAST DAY OR SO THE WAVE WAS INTERACTING WITH AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT IS NOW OVER THE CENTRAL ATLC. THIS
INTERACTION CAUSED THE WAVE TO SLOW DOWN ITS WWD MOTION AS WELL
AS WEAKEN IT. THE CURRENT LOCATION IS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO
DISCERN. THE WAVE REMAINS EMBEDDED WITHIN AN AREA OF MAXIMUM
MOISTURE EVIDENT IN TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY. SCATTERED
MODERATE CONVECTION IS FROM 7N-9N BETWEEN 49W-54W.

Still the second wave that was introduced on 18z in the 16th as the first one was gone rapidly continues creeping westward.

TROPICAL WAVE EXTENDS FROM 06N54W TO 13N52W MOVING W AT 10-15
KT. OVER THE PAST 24 TO 36 HOURS...THE WAVE INTERACTED WITH AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT IS NOW EAST OF THE WAVE AXIS. WHILE
LOWER TO MIDDLE LEVEL ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE WAVE PEELED OFF
TO THE NORTHEAST...PARTIAL LEFTOVER ENERGY CONTINUES WESTWARD AS
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
MODERATE CONVECTION REMAINING SOUTH OF 10N BETWEEN 49W-57W. SOME
OF THIS LOWER TO MIDDLE LEVEL MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO IMPACT NE
VENEZUELA AND THE WINDWARD ISLANDS OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

A TROPICAL WAVE EXTENDS FROM 12N57W TO 8N60W MOVING W NEAR 15
KT. THE WAVE LIES EMBEDDED WITHIN A BROAD AREA OF ENHANCED
MOISTURE PRESENT IN TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY. DUE TO
INTERACTION WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EARLIER IN THE WEEK...THE
EXACT LOCATION OF THE WAVE HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO DISCERN.
SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION IS E OF THE AXIS FROM 9N-11N
BETWEEN 56W-59W...AND W OF THE WAVE AXIS FROM 12N-15N BETWEEN
