Last Advisory on "Nadine" -- Arrival of Autumn Heralds the First Day Without a Named Storm in the Atlantic Basin Since Aug. 15th!....

The last advisory on "Nadine"  was issued Fri night.  Some occasional convection is still firing with the remnant low over the far east Atlantic west of the Azores.  The system is now involved with a large upper low which will likely limit full tropical regeneration in the short term.

The Atlantic is otherwise quiet but an area to watch will be the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean &/or SW Atlantic as an old frontal boundary/surface trough will set up shot in this region for an extended period occasionally reinforced by passing upper level troughs of low pressure.  Surface pressures will be quite high across the Northern U.S. & NW Atlantic, so the atmosphere should respond by developing low pressure to the south.  Nothing concrete to hang one's hat on at the moment but something to watch in this type of pattern + such an occurrence is not unusual later in the season.  As of right now...forecast models show no surface development but satellite imagery shows an unsettled Caribbean at times.


Still a few mostly weak tropical waves moving off the coast of Africa from time to time, but the clock is ticking on Cape Verde development, & the waves are showing little organization or stamina as they move west or W/NW.
