GOES-East Satellite Data Monitors Caribbean and Central America for Potential Tropical Development

The Caribbean and Central America are being closely monitored for potential tropical development. The GOES-East satellite is capturing True Color, Infrared, and GLM Lightning Density products, providing valuable data for tracking weather patterns. The National Hurricane Center has indicated the possibility of gradual development in the southwestern Caribbean next week, with models suggesting slow movement and potential northeast drift. A new area of interest in the western Caribbean has a 20% chance of tropical development, with a potential track to the northeast. The region's warm temperatures and wind shear patterns are key factors in assessing the likelihood of tropical activity.
