There are multiple tropical waves moving west across the Atlantic. None of them appear destined for significant development in the short term, but I still believe we have to monitor the Western Caribbean &/or Southern/SW Gulf of Mexico in the long term - 7-14 days. Heck - it’s not even out of the question that one of these seemingly “floundering” waves tries to come to life over the SW Atlantic.
Overall conditions over the Atlantic Basin become more favorable as we head into mid to late Aug. - particularly the 20th-31st then on into Sept.
Wed., 08/05 it was Dr. Klotzbach at CSU... Thu., 08/06 it was NOAA with their hurricane season updated forecasts. Both are predicting a potentially historic last half of the hurricane season. Bottom line: always be prepared & stay calm. First Alert Hurricane Center * here *.
