DISCUSSION
A FAIR GENTLE TRADE WIND DAY IS EXPECTED TODAY. AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW WILL BEGIN TO DIG SOUTHWARD THIS WEEKEND AND WILL LINGER
THROUGH NEXT WEEK. THIS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL LIKELY BRING
AN INCREASE OF SHOWERS ESPECIALLY THE SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK. AT
THIS TIME, THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS LOOKS TO BE EAST OF KURE, BUT
THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS MAY INCREASE TOWARDS THE LATER HALF OF NEXT
WEEK. SO GENERALLY, EXPECT AN UPTICK OF SHOWER COVERAGE THIS WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVIER SHOWERS TOWARDS THE SECOND
HALF OF NEXT WEEK.
AS FOR SWELLS, NO SIGNIFICANT SWELLS ARE EXPECTED WITH MAINLY BACKGROUND
TRADE WIND ENERGY FROM THE EAST AND SOME SMALL BACKGROUND ENERGY FROM THE WEST
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. A SLIGHT INCREASE IS POSSIBLE FROM THE WEST EARLY NEXT
WEEK WITH INCREASING TRADE WIND ENERGY TUESDAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
