Tropical Weather Outlook

National Hurricane Center Miami Fl

530 Am Edt Wed Jul 21 2004

 

For The North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea And The Gulf Of Mexico...

 

A tropical wave over the East-central Caribbean Sea is moving

west-northwestward at 20 to 25 mph. Over the past few

hours...thunderstorms associated with the wave have increased just

to the south of the Dominican Republic. Although there is no

evidence of a surface crculation at this time and upper-level

winds are only marginally favorable...this system has some

potential for tropical cyclone development. Even if development

does not occur...locally heavy rains associated with the wave are

expected to affect portions of Hispaniola over the next day or so.

These rains could produce flash floods and mud slides.

 

Elsewhere...tropical storm formation is not expected through

Thursday.
