Bret losing organization near the Lesser Antilles, TD Four forms in central Atlantic

Bret losing organization near the Lesser Antilles, TD Four forms in central Atlantic

Tropical Storm Bret is about to bring tropical storm conditions to the Windward Islands as it begins to become more disorganized. Bret is likely to dissipate over the central Caribbean as wind shear is expected to increase. In addition to Bret, a tropical wave developed into Tropical Depression Four early this morning. TD Four is likely to intensify into a weak-moderate tropical storm, but should not be a threat to any land areas. As of 11:00 a.m. EDT Thursday, Tropical…

Atlantic likely about to become quiet, East Pacific likely to get active with Invest 96E

Atlantic likely about to become quiet, East Pacific likely to get active with Invest 96E

The area of focus for tropical cyclone activity for the next two weeks (and possibly the rest of the month) is going to be the Eastern Pacific, with Invest 96E a possible long range Hawaii threat. The remnants of Tropical Depression Four have lost organization since yesterday and regeneration has become very unlikely. In addition, Saharan Dust and a Suppressed Kelvin Wave is expected to limit any development of African tropical waves in the near future. East Pacific: Eugene continues…

Tropical Depression Four degenerates into a remnant low, Tropical Storm Eugene forms in East Pacific, watching another wave

Tropical Depression Four degenerates into a remnant low, Tropical Storm Eugene forms in East Pacific, watching another wave

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…

Tropical Depression Four likely to degenerate into a remnant low soon, 95E likely to develop, Yet Another African Wave to Watch?

Tropical Depression Four likely to degenerate into a remnant low soon, 95E likely to develop, Yet Another African Wave to Watch?

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 

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…
