Bonnie gone, tropics quiet

Posted by Sheena Parveen under Daily updates

Remnants of what was Tropical Depression Bonnie are continuing to move inland over parts of Louisiana and Mississippi as a trough.  This system will continue to move inland, fizzling out.

There is one weak tropical wave off the Mexican coast, continuing to move West.  As this system moves on land, tropical cyclone formation will not take place.  Elsewhere, the Gulf and Caribbean are quiet with only unorganized areas of showers and thunderstorms.

A quiet set-up in the Atlantic is hindering tropical wave development; that, and the fact that there aren’t many waves moving off the West coast of Africa at the moment. . .

Water vapor imagery shows an upper level area of low pressure moving into the Gulf, with drier air indicated by red.  A more stable atmosphere will exist in the Gulf and Atlantic over the next few days as high pressure sets up.
