Tropics:

  • A big low-pressure area over the North Atlantic may go tropical over the next day or so
  • This system is moving away from the U.S. and has a very narrow window it could develop
  • A tropical wave is headed into the Caribbean, where there may be some development next week
  • Long-range forecasts are starting to show this system lifting into the Atlantic and away from the U.S.
  • There’s more agreement or consensus with the forecasts today than there was yesterday & the day before
  • But it’s still a long way out; any Caribbean interests next week need to stay up to date with the forecast
  • The next named storms will be “Melissa” and “Nestor”
