Tropical Weather Outlook

National Hurricane Center Miami Fl

1130 Am EDT Wed Jul 21 2004

 

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

 

Thunderstorm activity with the tropical wave south of Hispaniola has

become a little better organized this morning. Although there is

no evidence of a closed surface circulation...there are indications

that upper-level winds are becoming more favorable for tropical

cyclone development. An Air Force Reconnaissance Aircraft iIs

scheduled to iInvestigate the tropical wave late this aafternoon.

Even if this system does not develop into a tropical cyclone...

locally heavy rains will affect portions of Hispaniola today and

likely reach Jamaica tomorrow as the wave moves West-northwestward

at about 20 Mph. These rains could produce lfe-threatening flash

floods and mud slides in mountainous areas.

 

Elsewhere...tropical Storm formation is not expected through

Thursday.
