911 AM AST SAT AUG 15 2009

.UPDATE...UPDATED TO INCLUDE TROPICAL WIND PROBABILITIES FROM TPC
GRIDS BRINGING TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WORDING INTO
THE MONDAY NIGHT PERIOD. TROPICAL STORM ANA FIRST CONCERN ON THE
LIST THIS MORNING...LATEST GUIDANCE SHOWS A SPREAD FROM JUST SOUTH
OF PUERTO RICO (AND USVI) TO JUST NORTH. OFFICIAL TRACK FORECAST
TRACKS SYSTEM JUST NORTH...BRINGING TROPICAL STORM FORCED WINDS
THROUGH THE VI...NORTHERN PR...ALL EASTERN CARIBBEAN PASSAGES AND
ATLANTIC WATERS. EARLY CYCLE 12Z MODELS HAVE SHIFTED AL90 (THE
NEXT SYSTEM) A BIT FARTHER TO THE RIGHT...BETTER NEWS FOR PR AND
THE US. THIS KEEPS IN LINE WITH THE 00Z AND 06Z LATE CYCLE (MORE
RELIABLE) RUNS. THIS MAY BE A TEMPORARY TREND...WILL LOOK FORWARD
TO THE OFFICIAL TRACK ONCE THE NHC INITIATES THIS SYSTEM.

&&

.AVIATION...A FEW GUSTY SHOWERS THIS MORNING AFFECT THE NORTHERN
AIRPORTS INCLUDING TJSJ. EXPECTING THESE SHOWERS TO DIE OFF BY
14Z...LEAVING MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH GUSTY 15 TO 25 KT NE
FLOW. AFTERNOON CONVECTION SHOULD BE FOCUSED OVER THE TJPS AND
SOUTHERN TJMZ VICINITY THIS AFTERNOON WITH MORE COVERAGE THAN
YESTERDAY AND A POSSIBLE TSRA. LOOKING AHEAD...TROPICAL STORM
FORCED WINDS ARE POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT FOR ALL AIRPORTS...WITH
TISX...TIST AND TJSJ LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THE CORE OF THE HIGHEST
WINDS. TNCM AND TKPK WOULD BE HIT EARLIER...POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS
EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 604 AM AST SAT AUG 15 2009/

SYNOPSIS...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE NORTHEAST
CARIBBEAN. TROPICAL STORM ANA WILL APPROACH THE NORTHEAST
CARIBBEAN SUNDAY NIGHT. A VERY STRONG TROPICAL WAVE WAS LOCATED 475
MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS EARLY THIS MORNING.

DISCUSSION...SCATTERED SHOWERS HAVE BEEN DETECTED BY THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR THIS MORNING. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY
WAS OCCURRING ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS...WITH SOME SHOWERS
AFFECTING THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST SECTIONS OF PUERTO RICO...AND
THE U.S VIRGIN ISLANDS. A NORTHEAST WIND FLOW PRODUCED BY A
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED NORTHEAST OF THE LOCAL
AREA...IS TRANSPORTING PATCHES OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE
LOCAL AREA. LATEST MIMIC TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER PRODUCT FROM
CIMSS SHOWS A LINE OF MOISTURE EXTENDING FROM THE CARIBBEAN
WATERS...NORTHEAST ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. THIS AREA OF MOISTURE WILL
INCREASE SOMEWHAT THE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION FOR TODAY.
HOWEVER...SUNDAY LOOKS DRIER THAN TODAY. IN FACT...LATEST PROGNOSIS
SOUNDINGS INDICATED PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES DROPPING TO NEAR 1.30
INCHES SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WHICH IS IN AGREEMENT WITH LATEST VALUES
FROM CIMSS. HOWEVER...THIS DRY WEATHER WILL BE SHORT LIVED.

IMPORTANT CHANGES HAS BEEN OCCURRING ACROSS THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC
THE LAST 12 HOURS. TROPICAL STORM ANA...THE FIRST NAMED STORM OF
THE 2009 HURRICANE SEASON IS BORN. AT 5:00 AM AST THIS
MORNING...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM ANA WAS LOCATED ABOUT 1300 MILES
EAST SOUTHEAST OF PUERTO RICO. LATEST NHC OFFICIAL TRACK...PASS ANA
BETWEEN 35-50 MILES NORTHEAST OF PUERTO RICO ON MONDAY. UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE NORTH OF ANA...WILL MAINTAIN THE SYSTEM MOVING ON A
WESTWARD TRACK AT LEAST THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. LATER...SOME
COMPUTER MODELS SUGGEST THIS RIDGE WILL WEAKEN A
LITTLE...PRODUCING A MORE WEST TO NORTHWEST TRACK OF THE STORM. IF
THIS NOT HAPPEN...THEN...THE TROPICAL STORM WILL MOVE FURTHER
SOUTH...AND THE SYSTEM COULD IMPACT THE LOCAL AREA MORE STRONGER.
IN ANY WAYS...ANA IS EXPECTED TO PASS CLOSE ENOUGH FROM OUR
FORECAST AREA...TO PRODUCED A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY ON MONDAY.

BEHIND TROPICAL STORM ANA...ANOTHER SYSTEM...A VERY STRONG
TROPICAL WAVE...HAVE A HIGH CHANCE TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION
LATER TODAY. LATEST COMPUTER MODELS SUGGEST THAT THIS SYSTEM WILL
TRACK WESTWARD FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS. AFTER THAT...MAINLY WHEN THE
SYSTEM REACH 50 DEGREES WEST LONGITUDE...THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE IN A MORE
NORTHWESTERLY TRACK...PASSING THE CENTER NEAR 150 MILES NORTHEAST
OF THE LOCAL AREA. LOOKS LIKE THE MODELS SUGGESTS THAT THIS
DEVELOPING SYSTEM WILL MOVE SLOWER...AND ALSO WILL BE LESS
STRONGER...THAN PREVIOUS COMPUTER MODEL RUNS. A WEAKNESS IN THE
MID LEVEL RIDGE...IF FORECAST BY MOST OF THE COMPUTER MODELS IN THE
LONG RANGE NORTHWEST OF THE LOCAL AREA. IF THE SYSTEM MOVE
SLOWER...IT WILL REACH THE WEAKNESS BY THAT TIME...AND WILL TEND
TO MOVE MORE ON A NORTHWESTERLY COMPONENT. HOWEVER...IF THE SYSTEM
MOVE FASTER THAN INDICATED BY THE MODELS...THE RIDGE WILL BE
INTACT AND MORE STRONGER WHICH WILL ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO MOVE
CLOSER TO THE LOCAL AREA.

DUE TO THIS UNCERTAINTY IN THE FUTURE TRACKS OF BOTH SYSTEMS...RESIDENTS
OF PR AND THE USVI ARE ENCOURAGED TO MONITOR LATEST FORECASTS FROM
THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER OVER THE WEEKEND AND GO OVER THEIR
HURRICANE DISASTER PLANS IN CASE THE THREAT FROM THESE TWO
TROPICAL SYSTEMS BECOMES MORE REAL.

AVIATION...A WEAK TROPICAL WAVE NEAR 61W BUT MAINLY SOUTH OF 15 NORTH
WILL PASS SOUTH OF THE LOCAL AREA BETWEEN 15/18Z AND 16/00Z
SPREADING ADDITIONAL MOISTURE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. SOME BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY ESPECIALLY
OVER SOUTHWEST PUERTO RICO AND INTERIOR MOUNTAIN SECTIONS AS
CLOUDS DEVELOP AND OBSCURE THE HIGHER MOUNTAIN TOPS.
