Good morning. Sorry that I’ve been away, but I have been working on putting together some time lapse videos and storm footage of recent weather in my area. I’ve just posted videos on YouTube from last week, and about a month ago. I hope you’ll take a look at them, and enjoy.

Things are relatively calm in the tropics right now although we are still looking at a couple of trouble spots in the Atlantic this morning. One of those trouble spots continues to be the remnants of Hurricane Fred, which became a remnant low last weekend. Located approximately 415 miles to the South of Bermuda, and moving West between 10 to 15 miles per hour, this remnant low has minimal shower activity associated with it while upper level conditions in the vicinity are not favorable for development at this time. The National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida gives this disturbance less than a 30 percent chance of developing into a depression or storm in the next 48 hours.

Meanwhile, further off to the south and east in the Central Atlantic, there is a much more formidable disturbance moving to the West-Northwest at about 10 miles per hour. Located some 950 miles West of the Southernmost Cape Verde islands, the broad area of low pressure is showing signs of organization this morning. Right now, upper level winds are only somewhat conducive for development, but the NHC gives this disturbance a medium chance (30 to 50 percent) of becoming a tropical cyclone over the next couple of days.

Hurricaneville will continue to track these two disturbances, and post updates on them as they warrant.
