Hi Everyone -
The big question on this date is whether the two systems in the Atlantic between the Lesser Antilles and Africa will amount to anything over the next week or so. To answer that question we here at the Center have been put on alert to take our two P-3s to Barbados to start flying round-the-clock missions Wednesday morning.
At the right you see two satellite images take this afternoon that show these two systems. The upper one image is the western most system located at about 13N, 50W. The lower one is at about 10N, 30W. They don't look like much, but we'll see whether they develop in time. The western system is shown as #1 on tonight's NHC forecast site and is colored red for having a high probability for intensification. The eastern system is orange and shown as #2. The #3 low probability (yellow) system showed up on the NHC website tonight and is not considered much of a threat. We do not plan to explore this system in the western Caribbean.
As I said, we leave tomorrow for Barbados - at 0900 local Tampa time. We should arrive there about 3:30 pm tomorrow afternoon. We had trouble finding rooms for the 32 people going down within our allowance of $164 per room per day, but our agent at the airport finally came through for us. We'll be staying at the Barbados Hilton Hotel.
Not too shabby, eh?
Stay tuned in the coming days for the continuing saga of what are called disturbances AL92 and AL93.
More later.

Tough conditions - staying at the low-class hotel. Give the pool bartender my regards.

Makes me think back to college volleyball - 4 people to a room... you would only need 8 rooms! Way to maximize those project $$$.
