Tropical Depression Three-E expected to gain named Tropical Storm and eventually Hurricane status as heads out to sea in the Eastern Pacific. 11pEDT 11July2023 #TD3e
Things slowing starting to stir in the Atlantic. Area well out at sea between Bermuda & Azores 30% chance sub-tropical development this week. Also watching vigorous tropical wave between Africa & Caribbean but moving along edge of intense dry/dusty SAL air plume.
The Eastern Pacific 'wave train' still rolling but overall appears to keep any potential developing storms off the coast of Mexico as they generally move off to the West-Northwest. 2pEDT 9July23
The Atlantic remains quiet next seven days while the Eastern Pacific looks to continue producing storms just South of Mexico. Fortunately these appear to all move out to sea. 7aEDT 7July23 #93e
SAL (Saharan Air Layer - dust & dry air (orange/red color in image) from the North African Sahara desert) typically peaks about this time of year, fading in August. Tropical development is hindered by this air mass. Sometimes storms can find small pockets of clear air to hide in while traverse the Atlantic. 5July2023
Tropical Storm #Beatriz has really unraveled today. No more advisories will be issued as the system has lost its surface circulation. Left over scattered rains and winds 25-30mph (40-50km/h) remain. 1July2023
Reminder that with tropical Watch and Warning out for regions of Mexico NHC (US National Hurricane Center) issues storm updates every three hours at 3, 6, 9, 12am/pm CST (2,5,8,11a/pEDT) here: https://nhc.noaa.gov (Scroll down below the main map picture to see storm information. 29Jun2023 #TD2e
We now have #PTC2e (Potential Tropical Cyclone Two-E) about 315miles (505km) Southeast of Acapulco, Mexico. Tropical Storm Watch/Warning for portions of the coast (Additional Hurricane Watch likely coming Thursday). Storm to ride parallel to the coast, potentially into. 28Jun2023
Tropical Storm #Cindy starting its turn away well Northeast of the Caribbean. The system is facing wind shear and soon dry air (harmful to tropical systems) and may not survive the next few days. Some model guidance bring it back between Bermuda & Nova Scotia though. 11pEDT 24Jun
Tropical Storm #Bret is no more. Just swirls of clouds and scattered showers in the Caribbean. No more advisories will be issued. 24June2023
Newly designated #TD4 (Tropical Depression Four). NHC has the system steadily strengthening into the weekend before wind shear begins to weaken near the Northeast Caribbean early next week. 5aEDT/AST 22Jun2023
With a slight pressure drop & increase in winds to 70mph(110km/h) overnight a Hurricane Watch has been issued for St. Lucia as Tropical Storm #Bret becomes slightly stronger. Impacts are still the same regardless. System still expected to fall apart later this weekend.
Since that last air recon flight overnight, cloud tops have warmed on infrared satellite indicating storms have likely decreased some, but still a potent Tropical Storm.
