There May Be More Tropical Storms On The Way!

A quick glance at the Atlantic shows a continuing stream of waves flowing out of West Africa into the Atlantic. Forecasters have entered a final advisory for Depression 13 but we wouldn't discount it thus yet. If this area of convection manages to sneak under the ridge, it could find itself in the Gulf Stream off of South Carolina in a few days as a minimal storm.

A more interesting development is around 10 degrees north and 35 degrees west. This area is showing a lot of twisting motion and the latest shots almost appear to indicate a strong center. Of course, these images show convection building up during the daytime and dying down at night. So if we can see the same images tomorrow, then we may already have ourselves the next big one. This is in a very favorable area for tropical storm or hurricane development and it looks like it could venture into the warmer waters of the Caribbean.
