EVENT...1.8-2" PW'S STILL INVOF PUERTO RICO
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WEAK S/WV CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY FROM
PR/VIRGIN ISLANDS TO THE ENE AND WITH IT MUCH OF THE INSTABILITY
THAT CAUSED HVY RAINS OVER THE LAST 24HRS. AMSU PASSES/CIRA TPW
LOOP INDICATES BEST LOW LVL MOISTURE HAS STARTED TO SHIFT WWD IN
THE CARIBBEAN WITH THE BULK OF 2" PW'S NOW ALONG THE SRN EDGE OF THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. HOWEVER..SOME 2" PW'S DO EXTEND TO JUST W OF PR
AND THE ISLAND IS STILL IN THE DEAD CENTER OF THE REMAINING MOISTURE
PLUME..STILL WITH GOOD MOISTURE OVERHEAD AT 1.8" PW VALUES. BUT AT LEAST
TDY INSTABILITY WILL BE MORE FROM DIURNAL HEATING AND NOT AS MUCH FROM
S/WV FORCING..THOUGH THERE STILL ARE A FEW VERY WEAK S/WV'S SEEN ON WV
MOVING UP FROM THE SW TWDS PR FOR SOME INSTABILITY THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. SHOULD NOT BE NEARLY AS MUCH OF A FF THREAT TDY THOUGH COMPARED TO
YDAY. WITH BEST MOISTURE CLOSER TO HISPANOLA..EXPECT THAT BETTER DVLPMT
WILL BE OVER THE FAR WRN END OF THE ISLAND..AT LEAST TO START OFF. SEE
