BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The National Hurricane Center is watching four waves east and west of Florida. None pose an immediate threat to the mainland United States and none have graduated to a level of that requires tracking. While the time of year considered to be “peak hurricane season” rapidly approaches, the map is quiet as of Sunday. You can use the blank map, above, to plot the following waves.
…TROPICAL WAVES…
An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is near 29W from 04N to 16N,
moving W at 15 kt. Scattered moderate to strong convection is
noted west of the wave axis from 04N-10N between 30W-40W. This
system is forecast to cross the Lesser Antilles Wed night and move
into the E Caribbean early Thu, bringing enhanced showers and
thunderstorms, as well as potentially strong winds and building
seas.
A central Atlantic tropical wave is near 43W from 21N southward,
and moving west around 15 kt. Little to no significant convection
is occurring due to the presence of this tropical wave.
An eastern Caribbean tropical wave is along 63W from 12N to 23N,
and moving west at 15 to 20 kt. Isolated thunderstorms are
occurring from Puerto Rico northward to 24N between 62W and 67W.
A central Caribbean tropical wave is near 74W from 20N southward
to Colombia, and moving west at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered
thunderstorms are occurring along the northern end of the wave
from 17N to 20N between 74W and 77W, including over the waters
between Haiti, Jamaica and SE Cuba.
