TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
200 PM EDT FRI JUL 30 2010
FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
A FAST-MOVING TROPICAL WAVE CONTINUES TO PRODUCE DISORGANIZED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN AND SOUTH-CENTRAL
CARIBBEAN SEA. DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM...IF ANY...IS EXPECTED
TO BE SLOW TO OCCUR UNTIL IT REACHES THE SOUTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...10 PERCENT...OF THIS
SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT
MOVES WESTWARD AT AROUND 15 TO 20 MPH.
A SMALL AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER LOCATED OVER THE EASTERN ATLANTIC
ABOUT 700 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS HAS BECOME LESS
ORGANIZED DURING THE DAY. HOWEVER...A TROPICAL WAVE BETWEEN AFRICA
AND THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS IS PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AND COULD BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH THE SMALLER
DISTURBANCE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15
MPH. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...20 PERCENT...OF TROPICAL CYCLONE
FORMATION IN THIS AREA DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

FOR THE EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC...EAST OF 140 DEGREES WEST LONGITUDE..
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DIMINISHED IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED ABOUT 500 MILES SOUTH OF THE
GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC. ANY DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BE SLOW TO
OCCUR AS IT MOVES WESTWARD OR WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT AROUND 10 MPH.
THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...10 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
A DISTURBANCE LOCATED ABOUT 250 MILES SOUTH OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF
BAJA CALIFORNIA IS PRODUCING AN AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES WESTWARD AT AROUND 10 MPH OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IT WILL MOVE INTO AN AREA OF COOLER WATERS
...AND THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...10 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING
A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

Glendora Random Weather Fact
Radiosonde
(Sonde is French for probe) A weather balloon lifts the device up through the atmosphere. As the balloon ascends through the atmosphere, the pressure decreases causing the balloon to expand. Eventually, the balloon will expand to the extent that its skin will break, terminating the ascent. Balloon-borne radiosondes reach altitudes as great as 90,000 ft (27,400 m) above the earth's surface. The modern radiosonde communicates via radio with a computer that stores all the variables in real-time. Radiosondes have temperature, humidity and pressure transducers and a GPS receiver. The GPS receiver’s position is transmitted by the radio to record the radiosonde’s altitude and position to calculate winds aloft. The weight of a radiosonde is typically 250 grams. It should also be noted that the average radiosonde is lost and never recovered. Radiosonde observations are taken twice daily at 0000 hours and 1200 hours Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). All worldwide agencies launch their radiosondes at approximately the same time, and over 1500 such observations are taken daily.
