🌬️ Great news, Westpacwx community! The latest guidance from the optimistic GFS supercomputer has dialed down its enthusiasm regarding the development of invest 90W. Here’s the lowdown:
🤔 Reality Check: Let’s talk science for a moment. This area is currently too far south to experience significant development, all thanks to the lack of a crucial force known as the Coriolis force. (Coriolis force explained below ⬇️)
🌐 Coriolis Force 101: The Coriolis force is an apparent force that acts on objects moving in a rotating system, such as the Earth. It makes moving air, like winds, curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. In simpler terms, it’s what gives storms their spinning motion.
🌧️ Rainfall Alert: However, even with limited development, we’re keeping an eye on the potential for rainfall in the southern half of the Philippines late next week. So, let’s continue to monitor this tropical wave, but rest assured, there’s no significant threat on the horizon at this time.
⛈️ Afternoon Storms Reminder: Don’t forget, our usual afternoon storms still apply out there! Stay weather-wise and stay tuned for further updates. Your safety is our priority. 🌍 #Westpacwx #TyphoonWatch #WeatherUpdate
