RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WILL BE AROUND TROPICAL STORM EARL MOSTLY OVER THE SEA AND CLOSE TO HISPANOLA BUT MOST OF THE OTHER ISLANDS WILL EXPERIENCE RELATIVELY DRY WEATHER.

LATEST AUGUST FORECAST OF ATLANTIC HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR THE SEASON by William M. Gray is here

Today's Weather Forecast
ABC Islands
TODAY WILL BRING A MIX OF CLEAR TO SOMETIMES CLOUDY SKIES WITH A GOOD POSSIBILITY FOR WIDE SPREAD SHOWERS.
WINDS WILL BE AROUND 25 KNOTS AND MORE AND FROM THE EAST NORTH EAST.

Trinidad  & Tobago
LOOK TODAY FOR MAINLY DRY WEATHER WITH CLEAR SKIES AND ONLY A SMALL CHANCE FOR A LONELY SHOWER.
WINDS WILL REMAIN FROM THE EAST AT 16 TO 22 KNOTS.

St.Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada
TODAY WE WILL SEE MAINLY HAZY TO CLEAR SKIES WITH ONLY A SMALL CHANCE FOR A SHOWER.
WINDS WILL BE FROM THE EAST AROUND 16 TO 22 KNOTS.

Windward Islands
LOOK TODAY FOR MAINLY DRY WEATHER WITH A SMALL CHANCE FOR A SHOWER IN THE LATE AFTERNOON.
IT WILL BE HAZY TODAY AND QUITE WINDY WITH WINDS AROUND 16 TO 25 KNOTS FROM THE EAST.

Leeward Islands 
DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR IS INVADING THE LOCAL AREA FROM THE EAST. 
FOR THAT REASON...SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD BE HELD TO A MINIMUM.
IT WILL REMAIN QUITE WINDY WITH WINDS FROM THE EAST AROUND 16 TO 25 KNOTS.

Virgin Islands & Puerto Rico
PERIPHERAL EFFECTS FROM TROPICAL STORM EARL WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH TODAY...AS IT QUICKLY MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SEA AND AWAY FROM OUR REGION. SCATTERED...LEFTOVER SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO FORM AROUND THE LOCAL ISLANDS AND THEIR ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS THIS MORNING BEFORE WINDING DOWN BY AFTERNOON.

 THIS MORNING AT 8.00 AM FROM THE WINDWARD ISLANDS INDICATES NO RAIN OVER THE WINDWARD ISLANDS THIS MORNING

FROM THE LEEWARD ISLANDS SHOWS ONLY A FEW WIDE SPREAD AND QUICK PASSING SHOWERS OVER THE OCEAN.

FROM THE VIRGIN ISLANDS INDICATES SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY CLOSE TO PUERTO RICO AT THE MOMENT AND A FEW SHOWERS AROUND THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.

SYNOPSIS OF TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION BASED ON
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FLORIDA

TROPICAL WAVES
TROPICAL WAVE 1
IS LOCATED ALONG 77W S OF 19N MOVING W 20-25 KT. 
POSITION BASED ON EXTRAPOLATION WITH LITTLE CLOUD SIGNATURE.

AXIS OF ITCZ RELATED CLOUDS/CONVECTION
IS ALONG 10N14W 13N25W 6N44W 7N58W. WIDELY SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION IS WITHIN 60 NM OF AXIS FROM 48W-57W AND WITHIN 90 NM OF 10N19W. 
ISOLATED MODERATE CONVECTION IS WITHIN 60 NM OF AXIS FROM 37W-42W.

DISCUSSION
THREE FEATURES OF NOTE... FIRST FEATURE IS DEEP ELY FLOW N OF 16N W OF JAMAICA CARRYING A CIRRUS CANOPY FROM DIURNAL TSTMS OVER THE NW GREATER ANTILLES. FARTHER S... MID-OCEANIC TROF RUNS FROM SE NICARAGUA THRU E JAMAICA INTO THE SE BAHAMAS. 
TROF IS FUELING TSTMS OVER NICARAGUA AND WILL LIKELY ASSIST MORE CONVECTION THRU THE SW CARIBBEAN IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS S 
OF 12N. 
TO THE E... UPPER RIDGE IS POKING INTO THE E CARIBBEAN FROM THE NE LEEWARD ISLANDS TO 16N72W. E TO SE FLOW BENEATH THE RIDGE IS PROVIDING LIGHT SHEAR FOR EARL AT THIS TIME. 
COMPUTER MODELS GENERALLY BUILD THE RIDGE WESTWARD ALONG WITH THE STORM 
BUT THEY HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO WEAKEN UPPER TROUGHS TOO QUICKLY. 

SUBTROPICAL ATLANTIC...
MID/UPPER LOW IS NEAR 30N70W WITH TROUGH SOUTHWARD INTO THE SE BAHAMAS. INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH COOLER AIR NEAR THE TROUGH AXIS IS ALLOWED ISOLATED WEAK/MODERATE TO FORM N OF 25N BETWEEN 
65W-72W. 
UPPER RIDGING ALONG WITH DRY AIR IS FROM 55W-65W... BEING SQUISHED BY A DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH IN THE CENTRAL ATLC. 
THIS TROF IS ALONG 30N34W 23N45W 26N52W AND IS THE MAIN PLAYER IN DANIELLE'S FORECASTED TURN TO THE N. A FEW TSTMS ARE WITHIN 60 NM OF 29N39W NEAR A DEVELOPING UPPER LOW. 
THE FAR E ATLC IS BASICALLY COVERED WITH ANTICYCLONIC FLOW AND RELATIVELY DRY AIR.

TROPICAL ATLANTIC...
UPPER HIGH IS NEAR 18N54W RIDGING WESTWARD INTO THE NE LEEWARD ISLANDS AND EASTWARD TO JUST N OF DANIELLE NEAR 19N36W THEN ENE INTO NW MAURITANIA NEAR 21N16W. 
VERY MID/UPPER LEVEL DRY AIR IS PRESENT FROM 40W-60W S OF 20N WITH INCREASING VALUES IN THE E ATLC WITH GENERAL ELY FLOW ALOFT. A FEW TSTMS ARE JUST OFFSHORE OF W AFRICA PROBABLY ASSOCIATED WITH A NEW WAVE OVER SENEGAL.
