Tornadoes can commonly be found in tropical systems, mainly(but not limited to) Northeast of storm center. These tend to be(but not limited to) short lived weaker variety that may pop up & disappear just as fast, usually traveling in direction of the rain/storm that spawned it. #Hilary 20Aug2023

Rains continue to be pulled up across portions of the the Western US Sunday morning. 4:50amPDT 20Aug2023

Reminder: Invest are numbered 90 through 99 then the numbers repeat so always check dates when looking up information. The L after the number represents Atlantic basin. It's a way to start tracking for data collection and communication purposes essentially.

Another area just emerging off of Africa may follow in the footsteps of invest 98L.

Invest #98L far out in the Eastern Atlantic may be a short lived low end system similar to TD6 as well. But it's also about to run into wind shear and plowing into very dry dusty air.

Invest #99L has become Tropical Depression Six #TD6. But it's facing wind shear and running into a plume of dry dusty air (SAL). Not expected to last long.

Invest #90L moving through the Eastern Caribbean bringing breezy conditions and plenty of scattered showers. Radar shows a general low level spin with it. May turn North / meander around soon though. May be watching a few days but nothing definitive in models yet.

The area around South Florida expected to continue Westward quickly across the Gulf of Mexico. It may try and develop just as approaches the Texas / North Mexico coast early this week.

Atlantic trying to look like September out there!

But looking under the hood we find hostile environment (SAL, wind shear) for these wanna be tropical cyclones.

Still expect some action though.

Las Vegas radar is back in service after temporary repairs made Saturday afternoon! 19Aug2023

The remnants of #Fernanda will be passing near Hawaii Sunday - Tuesday. Likely to bring slight increase of trade winds, seas 6-7ft, and scattered showers (mainly Monday, better chances further South). 19Aug2023

Dry air(yellow/orange on left) appears to have reached core of Hurricane #Hilary. Clearly hurting structure. This, cool water, wind shear & land will continue to weaken(as NHC expected)
Note: This does NOT change rain impact. Hurricane is caught in funnel of moisture moving North

Hurricane #Hilary now 115mph(185km/h) Cat3. Continues to weaken as approaches Baja peninsula. Southern tip of Baja experiencing sustained winds along coast up to 40mph(64km/h), gust near 60mph(96km/h).
19Aug2023 11aPDT/2pEDT

LasVegas weather radar offline after lightning strike. Some coverage from other radars but will leave some gaps(these feed your apps too). Airport radar TLAS only provides short range.

These ‘little things’ here/there add up over time in large scale weather events. 19Aug #Hilary

Moisture streaming up across Mexico and the Western US ahead of Hurricane Hilary Friday evening. 18Aug2023

@JerichoTaskerDeaux and looks like TEAL78 is scheduled for this evening.

USAF Hurricane Hunters @53rdWRS now over Mexico on their way to fly into the eye of Cat4 Hurricane #Hilary! In storm air reconnaissance flights give details that satellites alone can not & can improve forecasts by as much as 20%.

Cannot stress enough the amount of rain from Hurricane #Hilary Northwest Mexico & Southwest US, especially over desert areas, & potential flooding this will cause. 18Aug2023 4aPDT (totals may continue to adjust/shift locations)
#TurnAroundDontDrown
Dese la vuelta...no se ahogue!

A few areas to watch in the Atlantic for tropical mischief this weekend into early next week.

Moisture in Gulf quickly moving Westward. Area in Eastern Caribbean as well as open waters of the Atlantic (which will be fighting dry dusty air (SAL)). 18Aug2023 7aEDT

Hope you enjoyed the quiet! Atlantic waking up.
