Tropical Atlantic Waiting For Fred...

NHC has been highlighting several areas in the Atlantic for development, and today they dropped one (Invest 92L) and added another (Invest 94L).  Nothing appears to be exploding and development during the next 2-3 days  should remain slow.




I actually found 4 swirls that I circled, but it's the two western ones that have the better chances to develop.   Model runs on Invest 94L head it towards the general direction of south Florida, but it's way too early to put any faith in them since we have no center to track yet.



The rest of the Caribbean and Gulf are quiet so our focus will be out to the east for next week.  Best outcome for us is to keep whatever forms east of Florida.




With the main jet stream over the lower 48 staying well north, look for very little daily changes in our weather over the next 7-10 days.  Most of the eastern 2/3 of the country is enduring typical August heat and humidity.



The only cooling relief comes from our spotty daily showers.  Temps should climb to 90+ each day before storms erupt.

As we head towards mid August, historically, tropical activity ramps up and I expect this month to be no different.   Since our local weather will be boring for the next 6-8 weeks, I will focus more on the Tropics.  The longer it stays quiet, the closer we get to Fall fronts.  Stay tuned!
