The Tropical Atlantic Is Becoming More Active

We are watching a number of areas of concern. We are now entering the time of the year when tropical cyclone formation is more favorable.
The strong upper-level westerlies, which have been more dominate during the early part of the Atlantic Basin season, are now retreating more to the north. Surface pressures are now trending lower over the Caribbean. That along with the warmer-than-normal water temperatures over most of the basin should lead to more developing systems during the next few weeks.

Looking from east to west a new tropical wave came off the coast of Africa within the past 24 hours. That wave is roughly along 18 west and is moving to the west at about 6-7 degrees longitude per day. Computer model output is suggesting this feature might try to organize quickly in a few days.

The next feature we are watching is an impressive tropical wave along 61 west. Late Monday afternoon satellite images were showing two clusters of strong thunderstorms to the east of this wave. This suggests the system is encountering some westerly shear so that the lower-level circulation is moving quicker to the west than the upper-level part. If the shear relaxes as suggested by recent computer model output, then the upper level and lower levels might link up and we could have a depression or even storm with this feature within the next 24-36 hours. Computer models take this feature west-northwest into the northeast Caribbean by Wednesday and into an area between the central Bahamas and eastern Cuba by Friday.

A tropical wave along 84 west is moving west at about 7-8 degrees longitude per day. This wave has no organization, but the shear over it is rather low. Since there are no signs of a lower-level feature showing up yet, we do not expect this system to develop anytime soon.

Finally, we are watching two areas of clouds in the western Atlantic. One area of clouds is located just east of the central Bahamas, while another area of clouds and a weak surface low are about 200 miles southeast of the South Carolina coast. An upper-level low located near Nassau in the Bahamas is causing these two areas to move north and south respectively. This might lead to a more interesting feature within the next couple of days as it slowly moves westward.
