Tropical Disturbance In Central Atlantic Getting Its Act Together

Good morning everyone. Just took a glance at the National Hurricane Center’s web site, and noticed that the disturbance in the Atlantic had its chances to become a tropical cyclone upgraded to higher than 50 percent over the next 48 hours. The NHC believes that the clouds and showers associated with the broad area of low pressure located some 950 miles to the East of the Windward Islands continues to get better organized.

The latest satellite imagery from the entire Northern Atlantic shows not only the disturbance in the Central Atlantic getting better organized with increased thunderstorm development, but a blowup of clouds and showers in the Southwestern Caribbean near Colombia and Panama. Meanwhile, a tropical wave in the Eastern Atlantic continues to head westward, but shows no signs of development at this time. Interests in the Lesser Antilles should closely monitor the progress of the disturbance in the Central Atlantic.
