Tuesdays Tropical Update

Posted by Dave Osterberg under Daily updates

There is only one area of interest in the tropics and that is a tropical wave east of the islands. But this like other waves this season will not be a threat. When the El Nino kicked in this year, the wind shear started in the Atlantic basin. And it is still going strong today. You can see if you put that satellite into motion the clouds moving from SW-NE indicating the shearing going on with this system.  This has been the case all season long with many systems.

With October upon us the focus for developing tropical systems will shift back to the Caribbean and Gulf Of Mexico. In many cases you will see a tropical system spin off a dying cold front down in the Gulf or Western Atlantic. No computer models are indicating anything developing over the next week or so; so sit back and enjoy this preview of fall we are going to get this week.
