The short life of Tropical Depression Four came to an end Friday afternoon when the National Hurricane Center (NHC) designated it a remnant low. On the flip side, Invest 95E in the East Pacific has been upgraded to Tropical Storm Eugene, the fifth named storm of the 2017 Pacific hurricane season. After Tropical Depression Four, another African tropical wave has a chance to develop by late next week near the Lesser Antilles. Dry air ends the life of Tropical Depression…

The tropics continue to remain active in both the Atlantic and Pacific. Tropical Depression Four formed yesterday in the Atlantic, but is likely to be downgraded to a remnant low soon, possibly even this evening. In the East Pacific, Invest 95E has a high chance of developing into a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Looking ahead, both the GFS and some ECMWF runs have indicated the possibility of yet another African tropical wave to develop east of the…

Tropical Depression Four forms over tropical Atlantic 

Tropical Depression Four forms over tropical Atlantic 

Comments 0 Comment

Tropical Depression Four has formed over the tropical Atlantic. The depression was centered near 12.8°N 38.4°W. Maximum sustained winds were estimated at 25 knots (30 mph), with an estimated minimum pressure of 1009 mb. Four is expected to strengthen slightly as it moves west-northwestward through the tropical Atlantic, but the National Hurricane Center (NHC) currently does not expect that the depression will strengthen into a tropical storm. Increasing wind shear and dry air will likely limit intensification, and the official NHC…

In the Atlantic, a tropical wave is located southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands and is being monitored for gradual development. In the East Pacific, there is potential for two tropical cyclones to form with Invest 94E and another tropical wave. In the West Pacific, Tropical Storm Nanmadol has formed in…

Dora weakens to a remnant low, development in both Atlantic and East Pacific unlikely in near future

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…

Tropical Storm Dora is feeling the effects of cooler sea surface temperatures, and has begun to weaken. Dora fell below hurricane strength this afternoon as deep convection has continued to decrease. Dora should continue to lose convection and become a remnant low by Thursday, if not sooner. Meanwhile, two other systems (one in the Atlantic and one in the East Pacific) both have a low chance of development over the next several days. Dora meeting its demise This morning, Dora…

Early Sunday, Tropical Depression Four-E strengthened into Tropical Storm Dora, becoming the fourth named storm of the 2017 Pacific hurricane season. Dora has continued to strengthen this morning, although its circulation center has become partially exposed to the north of the main convective mass. Dora is likely to strengthen to a minimal hurricane by Tuesday before weakening commences as the cyclone moves over cooler waters. As of 10:00 a.m. CDT  (11:00 a.m. EDT), Dora was centered near 15.0°N 101.8°W and was…
