It appears that “nap time” in the Atlantic may soon come to an end in about a week. We are monitoring a vigorous tropical wave that is moving off Africa this week. It will track westward encountering some dry air along the way. Once it reaches the western portion of the Atlantic Basin mid next week, there may be an opportunity for development to occur. At this time the EURO, UKMET and about half of the EURO ensembles support development. Since the system may be close to land, we will have to watch this potential closely and we will keep you updated as it tracks westward in the coming days. Follow along in the “Outlook” section of the Hurricane Tracker App.
