EPIC WEATHER DISCUSSION REPORT

REVIEW OF PREVIOUS FORECAST

fine weather in HUX - enjoy

GENERAL OVERVIEW

A drying trend across the EPIC area with precipitable water along 95W
decreasing at all latitudes (Image 1).  Lingering north winds across Tehuantepec
as deep mid-latitude trough still dug in deep across the Gulf of
Mexico.  Sole convective cluster, with some cyclonic rotation, found
near 12N, 102W continueing to drift slowly west(Image 2).  NHC suggests there may
be some further development to this, but it is exiting the EPIC region.
Upstrean, an easterly wave is over the windwards of Barbados, so it will
not be in EPIC region to late in the week if al all.  Otherwise, fine
weather...enjoy.

DISCUSSION

Uneventful weather...no real ITCZ al all...when will it return?

SUMMARY

Note - I'll be leaving EPIC ops center this Wed and so will only file
weekly climate/weather reports.
