TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK JULY 7, 2017 1215 PM EDT

Tropical Wave # 1 west of the African Coast has a lot of dry air and Sahara dust intruding into the surrounding of this wave.  This minimizes the development of thunderstorms along the northern axis of the wave.  However there seems to be some thunderstorms along the southern axis of the wave at present.

Tropical Wave # 2 over the East Caribbean is also encountering dry air, Sahara dust and wind shear.  The likelihood of development is not likely at this. time

Tropical Wave# 3 is is encountering wind shear and this wave is moving over the Yucatan.

Elsewhere tropical cyclone formation is not expected for the next couple of days.  I will be monitoring to coast of Africa next week for another possible strong wave.
