"Nadine" Still in E.Atlantic... Hurricane "Mirium" South of Baja in E. Pacific....

"Nadine"  is in the far E. Atlantic & slowly moving south toward warmer sea surface temps.  A fairly well defined by wide center is evident on satellite imagery.  Some strengthening should occur the next few days as "Nadine" makes yet another loop but stays far out in the Atlantic well east & northeast of Bermuda.

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.  There are clusters of t'storms in the SE Gulf & parts of the Caribbean at times but shear is quite strong.  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.


Hurricane "Miriam" has developed in the far E. Pacific & could affect the Baja Peninsula by the weekend but as a much weaker system.  Some tropical moisture could then advect northward into parts of Arizona & New Mexico.
