Tropics

Well it looks like we may have some activity in the tropics. A wave just left Africa and looks good for development. It’s fairly far out, however,since the African Dust isn’t an issue this season,the wave has a chance of tracking  westward and heading toward the Leeward Islands and could reach tropical cyclone status by next Thursday. If all goes according to today’s tropical discussion, the system should reach just east of the Bahama’s by the 6th of August and then just off the coast of NC by the 9th according the GFS model’s forecast. The model is useful for long range forecasts. We all know of course,that with this wave being well out to sea, much can change. I’m just so wave starved right now, that I’ll believe almost anything!
