Over the next six days the following upper air pattern may cause the development of a new tropical disturbance in the southern Caribbean Sea as follows:
(1) Over the next three days the southern part of the current eastern North America upper trough is forecast to amplify southward into the Caribbean due to upstream warm core upper ridging that amplfies over the southeastern US and western Atlantic (the upstream upper ridging will be generated by warm air transport ahead of North American surface frontal lows induced by the upper trough that recently made landfall over western North America).
(2) From days 4 to 6 the upper vorticity over the Caribbean left behind by the aforementioned upper trough decays due to prolonged isolation from high-latitude cold air... with a southern Caribbean upper ridge cell expanding in its wake. The outflow of the expanding Caribbean upper ridge cell may drop surface pressures enough to generate a new tropical disturbance in the southern Caribbean during this timeframe.
Elsewhere... no other tropical areas of interest are expected to emerge in the Atlantic basin.
