Tropics quiet again

Posted by Jim Weber under Daily updates

T.D. #8 was sheared apart over the weekend along with dry air surrounding the system. This has been a constant theme for nearly every tropical system this hurricane season.

The westerly shear will continue for the next day or so and then should begin to relax. The shear may relax but the dry air will continue to pose a problem for the remnants of  T.D. #8. Therefore, it looks unlikely that this system will redevelop.

Across the rest of the tropics things are remarkably quiet with a couple of weak tropical waves. Now that we are approaching October we will start to turn our attention to frontal boundaries stalling over the state and watch for disturbances forming along them.
