Forecasters watch march of tropical waves
From FloridaToday.com :
Currently, the systems have not shown indications of rapid development. However, a hurricane hunter aircraft may be dispatched to one as the waves march westward.
Here, according to a statement from hurricane forecasters, are the waves:
A tropical wave is producing widespread cloudiness and scattered showers from Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and the northern Lesser Antilles northward over the Atlantic for a few hundred miles.
Upper-level winds are only marginally favorable and development, if any, should be slow to occur over the next couple of days.
Another tropical wave is moving westward at 20 mph through the central and southern Lesser Antilles. This system remains poorly organized.
Upper-level winds are only marginally favorable for some
slow development to occur. However, an Air Force Reserve unit
reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system this
afternoon, if necessary.
