Flareup in NW Caribbean

#1 Postby boca » Tue Feb 07, 2006 8:11 am

I know its not tropical in nature. Its the tail end of the old front that came thru Florida this past weekend. Still impressive to have a flareup like that in Feb.

THIS IS WHAT IS VISIBLE FROM CUBA'S CLOSEST RADAR TO THE AREA OF CONVECTION.

No i'd have thought not, shear is high in that region and it doesn't look even slightly organised, its just a convective flare-up as has already been said. Now in summer and under better shear values...who knows!

It's just cutoff convection. There's no low pressure area or circulation, and there's too much dry air and shear for any development.
