http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php?basin=atlc&fdays=5 One is rolling off Africa and heading straight west toward SA for now. 1. A tropical wave along the west coast of Africa is moving westward at about 15 mph. Environmental conditions could become more conducive for some development over the weekend while the system moves well south and southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent. 2. An area of low pressure could form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico by the weekend. Development, if any, of this system is expected to be slow to occur as the low moves slowly northward. If this system does develop, it could bring [much needed] rainfall to portions of the Texas and Louisiana coasts. However, any rainfall forecast is uncertain at this time range, and it is too soon to determine any specific impacts. Interests in these areas should monitor the progress of this potential system for the next few days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low
I think Irma will be a great swell producer for the whole east coast, in addition to this already pretty good hurricane season. Would be nice to have another right after her.. Hopefully Irma re-curves out to sea.. already plenty of damage from Harvey. No need for more. Stoked for September/October!!
I agree Betty, surf we will have! Devastation is totally different when combined with storms. I can't even think about surfing until I know my family, neighbors and community are taken care of.
The one near Africa, which may become 94L: As of 2:00 pm EDT Fri Sep 1 2017 ... A tropical wave located over the far eastern Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Africa is producing disorganized cloudiness and showers. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for development, and this system could become a tropical depression after the weekend while it moves westward at 15 mph over the tropical Atlantic. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent. Let's follow it and then give it its own treade.
Disturbance 1: 40% Chance of Cyclone Formation in 48 Hours As of 2:00 pm EDT Mon Sep 4 2017 ... An elongated area of low pressure located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression is likely to form later this week while the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the tropical Atlantic Ocean. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.
It is now 94 L and its like Irma's twin brother, following in her footsteps, doing a loop on many of the models.
Thanks Mitchell! 94L may just finish off the coast as we know it... Getting hurricane fatigue here....
that's one sweet loop. thankful for the short week. hoping both will spin off of FL. should make for a wild week starting Wednesday, yeeewww bouyz!!
It's like 94L is winding up for a hell of a punch. Let's hope everyone is wrong and it goes out to sea.
