Tropical Weather Outlook

National Hurricane Center Miami Fl

530 Am Edt Thu Jul 22 2004

 

For The North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf Of Mexico...

 

A tropical wave extending from extreme Eastern Cuba southward into

the central Caribbean Sea is moving generally westward at 15 to 20

mph. This system has changed little overnight and the associated

shower and thunderstorm activity remains minimal. Therefore the

reconnaissance aircraft mission to investigate the area this

morning has been cancelled. However...there is still some

potential for development over the next couple of days as the wave

moves into the northwest Caribbean Sea. Some locally heavy

rainfall is possible over portions of Jamaica and Eastern Cuba

during the next day or so.

 

Elsewhere...tropical storm formation is not expected through

Friday.
