REVIEW OF PREVIOUS FORECAST

Boring....In a word the convective activity in the EPAC east of 100W is quite supressed. The diurnal convection over land seems to be more active though - maybe it takes over when other activity is weak. Yesterdays IR loop showed a fast propagating feature going from south-to-north firing the convection along 97W. Wonder what caused that. Other wise HUX had thunder and lots of rain overnight. We should have a pool on how high a dewpoint we can get here...heard it was Td =87f today....

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Flights on for 95W transect tomorrow. Ron Brown sailed from San Diego yesterday. Interesting binary storm pair further west Hur Gil dancing with TS Henriette... we'll see who gobbles up who. Need to see where a/c see low level shear band tomorrow. Upstream there is another wave just crossing central america, but doesn't look too impressive...
