Hurricane Erin is now moving away from the East Coast, heading out into the shipping lanes of the North Atlantic. She remains a large & powerful system that, fortunately, missed any land areas. Still, she produced high tides and rough surf all along the eastern seaboard. As she leaves, there are two other systems that could be named shortly.
Invest 99 L is in the central Atlantic with newly designated Invest 90 L northeast of the Leeward Islands. Let's begin with Erin and work our way clockwise around all the circles. Erin still has some wave heights of 25-30'+.
Out in the Atlantic, the MDR is quite active with one wave moving off of Africa and two Invests ahead of it.
Of note today, the models bring Invest 99 L farther to the north towards the Islands. But no model really develops it. On the other hand, Invest 90 L is expected to slowly develop.
So while NHC is watching the Atlantic, the good news is the Caribbean & Gulf are very quiet with one exception. There is a small cluster of storms over the southern Caribbean that should head into Central America.
The Gulf continues to be mostly clear with no issues and that is why I'll use tonight's Podcast to go over several evacuation routes that most folks don't know about. As we all know, once into September, we're likely to get a Gulf threat.
But you can't get that info unless you subscribe to my Podcast. For $2/month, it's near priceless!
The circulation around Erin has brought cooler and drier air to a good part of the eastern states. Will we see a front here next week? Zack showed us that this morning and models say yes!
Remember, we're talking about NEXT Wednesday & Thursday...maybe! After all, it's still August.
Today's storms have been more numerous & slow movers, resulting in some street flooding. Notice how temps are less hot where it's been raining.
So in the short term, our weather will see no major changes. But late next week?!!! Remember, my podcast tonight will be about evacuation routes. Listen to the podcast here. Stay tuned!
