TD Three forms over the central tropical Atlantic, expected to strengthen and pose a threat to the Lesser Antilles; 93L could also develop

A vigorous tropical wave over the central Atlantic acquired a sufficiently well-defined circulation Monday morning to be classified as Tropical Depression Three. It should be noted that it is quite unusual to see tropical development in this part of the basin this early in the season, with only two systems of at least tropical storm strength recorded in the tropical Atlantic east of the Lesser Antilles in the satellite era during June: Ana (1979) and Bret (2017). Coincidentally, if Three…

Invest 92L could become rare June Cabo Verde-type tropical storm

Invest 92L, a tropical wave that exited the coast of Africa 2 days ago, has a high chance to become the Atlantic’s second named storm of the season. 92L is unusual in that it is rare to see tropical cyclogenesis east of the Caribbean in the deep tropics during the month of June. If 92L becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Bret. Coincidentally, the last tropical storm to form in the tropical Atlantic east of the Caribbean during…

Tropical Storm Arlene weakened to a depression this morning as it drifts south-southeastward over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. As of 10:00 a.m. CDT (11:00 a.m. EDT), Tropical Depression Arlene was centered near 24.2°N 85.1°W, and was moving south-southeastward at about 7 mph. Maximum sustained winds were 30 knots (35 mph), with an estimated minimum pressure of 1000 mb.

An area of low pressure over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico developed into Tropical Depression Two yesterday afternoon, and this afternoon it has strengthened into Tropical Storm Arlene – the first named storm of the season. It should be noted, however, that Arlene is technically not the first sub(tropical) cyclone of the season, as an unnamed subtropical storm developed in January. As of 1:00 p.m. CDT (2:00 p.m. EDT), Tropical Storm Arlene was centered near 26.7°N 86.2°W, and was moving…

I will provide more thoughts on the season as a whole in my forecast update next Tuesday. Among expert forecasters, there has been…

In the eastern Pacific, Hurricane Kay is likely to brush the western coast of the Baja California Peninsula, and could bring tropical storm conditions as far north as the…

2022 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins with two systems to watch – tropical system likely to affect western Florida this weekend

Comments 0 Comment

Today is June 1, the official start of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season. Thus far, no tropical or subtropical cyclones have developed, which marks the first time since 2014 in which a pre-season tropical cyclone did not develop in the Atlantic basin. Regardless, the Atlantic is already showing signs of activity, and the Atlantic’s first named storm (Alex) will likely form late this week. This season will use List 2 of the six naming lists used to name tropical storms…
