The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is not anticipating any development over the next five days. However, several recent runs of the GFS model and its ensembles have been indicating the possibility of development of a tropical wave in the central tropical Atlantic during the next…

Farewell, Dora The life of Hurricane Dora – the strongest tropical cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere so far in 2017 by wind speed – came to an end this morning. Dora became devoid of deep convection last night, and new convection did not redevelop. As a result, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) declared Dora a remnant low at 9:00 a.m. MDT (11:00 a.m. EDT) and terminated advisories. Dora is now just a swirl of low-level clouds, but a vigorous circulation…

For the first time in two weeks, it is Friday and the Atlantic has quieted down. That means it is time to take a look at the Atlantic. The Atlantic has quieted down after Tropical Storms Bret and Cindy. Cindy has transitioned into a post-tropical low this evening. The Atlantic is soon going to enter its normal “summer quiescence” with no development expected until at least mid-July. Due to a suppressed MJO phase, Atlantic activity during early July is not…

Tropical Storm Cindy remains disorganized today over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Cindy is expected to make landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border around 4:00 AM CDT (local time) Thursday. Cindy’s formation date of June 20 is nearly two months earlier than the climatological average date of the third named storm, August 13. However, it should be stressed that early-season Gulf of Mexico storms are not a strong indicator of the overall seasonal activity (but early-season development in the deep tropics,…
