depicts abundant moisture in the vicinity of the wave. Isolated
moderate convection is E of the wave axis from 08N-18N between
57W-63W.

A tropical wave is over the west Caribbean with axis along 81W
from 20N southward, moving W around 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate
isolated strong convection is over E Cuba, Jamaica, the Gulf of
