Tropics

Tropical Storm Erin formed this Monday morning. Erin should rather quickly become a hurricane while moving steadily west. Early indications are for a pretty sharp turn north once over the SW Atlantic. If accurate, Erin would then stay east of Florida next week. Things could change, though!
A couple of disturbances over the North Atlantic have little chance to develop significantly.
A weak area of low pressure over the Northern Gulf should soon move inland.
