As of 5:00 p.m. EDT Monday, Potential Tropical Cyclone Six was centered near 14.2°N 59.2°W, and was moving westward at about 15…

Based on reports of sustained hurricane-force winds from Barbados, Tropical Storm Elsa was upgraded to a hurricane on Friday morning, the first of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season.

A hurricane in this region is very concerning for so early in the season, and could be a…

June-tember: Monitoring Invests 95L and 97L over the tropical Atlantic

June-tember: Monitoring Invests 95L and 97L over the tropical Atlantic

Comments 0 Comment

It looks much more like September than late June over the deep tropical Atlantic, with two tropical waves currently being monitored by the National Hurricane Center for development. Invest 95L, located east of the Lesser Antilles, has not become much better organized, and its development chances appear to be decreasing. However, newly-designated Invest 97L over the southeastern tropical Atlantic is looking increasingly likely to be the Atlantic’s first deep tropics cyclone of 2021. Should either or both of 95L or…

TS Claudette forms inland over Louisiana

Comments 0 Comment

A disturbance that had been monitored by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) for several days developed into Tropical Storm Claudette early Saturday morning, after moving inland into Louisiana. It is somewhat unusual to see tropical cyclones develop inland, but Claudette’s impacts would have not been much different regardless of its status. Claudette has already weakened from its peak intensity, and is likely going to continue to weaken for the next day or so as it moves northeastward. The main threat…
