    This is the chatter about the upcoming week in the Tropics from flhurricane.com

    "There's wave coming off Africa that has a 20% chance for development over the next 5 days that the Hurricane Center is mentioning in hte outlook. Although it could develop, odds are it won't. and if it does, it wouldn't last across the Atlantic. We'll keep an eye on it though.

    GFS loses it by Friday (and never really develops it), Euro never really develops it, GFS Para never develops it, CMC does not develop it. The 12Z runs before this showed a bit more development, which is likely what the NHC outlook was based off of.

    Long range, next week seems slightly more likely for development of something else in the Eastern or Central Atlantic, but nothing very firm right now."

    And here is the 5 day graphical from NHC

    Flhurricane.com:

    "
    The National Hurricane Center has dropped the wave chances off the Outlook, leaving the quiet week. The GFS shows something maybe in the Central Atlantic mid to late next week. but there are no other models supporting that yet.

    So likely next week may be quiet as well, but not sure on that yet. "

    From Surfline extended fucast today:

    "Also, some of the recent computer model runs suggests a tropical wave moving off West Africa will need to be monitored as it tracks westward through the tropical Atlantic over the next week to ten days. We wouldn't see any potential for swell from that until well into the second week of July so we have plenty of time to watch the system over the coming days."

    Yeah, I agree we should sacrifice Barry to the tropical storm gods to kick off the season.

    July 13, waaaaaaaay out there, but it gives us hope, and this is just the GFS that hasn't been to reliable.

    Three GFS model runs in a row showing a system tracking up the coast about a week from now.

    NHC giving that system a 50% chance of becoming a TD in next five days.

    A tropical wave located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo
    Verde Islands is producing widespread cloudiness and showers over
    the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean. No significant development of
    this system is expected for the next few days while it moves
    westward at about 15 mph. Thereafter, upper-level winds are forecast
    to gradually become more conducive, and a tropical depression could
    form by early next week several hundred miles east of the Lesser
    Antilles.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
    * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.
