Although Tropical Depression Chantal is very close to becoming a remnant low, the Atlantic likely won’t be entering a lull, as two disturbances have a shot at becoming tropical cyclones this weekend. The first, Invest 98L, is a trough of low pressure just east of South Florida, and is likely to become a tropical depression by Sunday as it moves northeastward. The second, Invest 99L, is a small area of low pressure over the central tropical Atlantic that is gradually…

Tropics waking up: TS Chantal forms over the northern Atlantic, TD Ten-E forms in the east Pacific, another disturbance to watch

Tropics waking up: TS Chantal forms over the northern Atlantic, TD Ten-E forms in the east Pacific, another disturbance to watch

After a remarkably quiet August, the Atlantic and eastern Pacific basins both had a new tropical cyclone develop. Tropical Storm Chantal developed late last night over the far north Atlantic, and is no threat to land. Tropical Depression Ten-E has formed over the eastern Pacific and could become a hurricane late this week, but is expected to remain offshore the Baja California peninsula. Also in the Atlantic, an area of disturbed weather near the Bahamas could gradually develop into a…

Erick gradually weakening, Flossie unexpectedly weakens to a tropical storm due to shear, tropical wave could develop east of the Lesser Antilles by early next week

Erick gradually weakening, Flossie unexpectedly weakens to a tropical storm due to shear, tropical wave could develop east of the Lesser Antilles by early next week

Hurricanes Erick and Flossie over the eastern Pacific have both weakened since yesterday, with Flossie weakening to a tropical storm due to strong westerly shear. Erick should remain south of the Hawaiian Islands as it gradually weakens. Flossie could pass close to the islands in about 6 days or so, but marginal sea surface temperatures and increasing wind shear should weaken Flossie as it approaches from the east. In the Atlantic, a tropical wave has a strong chance to develop…

The peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is quickly approaching. So far, the Atlantic basin has seen three tropical depressions and two named storms, including one minimal hurricane (Barry). Barry was the first July hurricane to make landfall in the United States since Arthur in 2014. Atlantic basin activity has been close to normal, though Barry reached hurricane strength about three weeks prior to the average date of the first hurricane formation in the Atlantic. Unlike the past two seasons,…
