	Tropical wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tropical waves, also known as easterly waves, are elongated areas of relatively low air pressure, oriented north to south, causing areas of cloudiness and thunderstorms.
		Tropical waves are generally carried westward by the prevailing easterly winds along the tropics and subtropics near the equator.
		Tropical waves develop when warm air drifts off of the continent of Africa onto the Atlantic ocean.

		There are two tropical waves over the hurricane birthing grounds in the Atlantic as well as a weaker wave a little to the South of us.
		Looking over the Atlantic, two tropical waves are slowly making their way across to our side of the world and we will have to see what they develop into, if anything.
		One very weak tropical wave is touching us now, but water vapor imagery shows very little deep moisture over the Caribbean at the moment, with a few showers/thunderstorms associated with the tropical wave.

	FLHurricane.com: Forecasting the tropical wave
		So far this Tropical wave is not very more than average; small area of deep convetion, not much organization but should bare watching because sometimes something that doesn't appear special ends up being just that and conditions appear favorable for some slow devlopment.
		Tonight the tropical wave (220nm west of the Cape Verde Islands) appears well-defined on sat imagery and convection seems to be increasing.
		Now yet another tropical wave is coming off of the ITCZ, (surfs up), this one looks good but it's too early to say anything, although almost anything now a days (late August) can form hurricanes.

	Tropical wave could bring heavy showers today - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM

		All small craft operators, including fishers and other marine interests, were yesterday advised to exercise extreme caution as sea conditions would become increasingly unstable as the tropical wave approaches.

		We did not find this wind today, so the system is still an open tropical wave, but very close to becoming a tropical depression.
		While not as dramatic or powerful as a hurricane, tropical waves draw a lot of moisture, too.
