TRACKING THE TROPICS 0415 PM EDT AUG 16, 2017


RTW: Review of the Tropics

1. A new Storm INVEST has moved off the southwest African coast that will be monitored for development during next week.

2. INVEST 92L still tracking behind 91L and still has a potential for tropical cyclone formation in the coming days and now has a medium chance for development 40% within 48 hrs. and medium chance 50% within the next 5-days. NOTE IF THIS SYSTEM HOLDS TOGETHER AND DEVELOPS FURTHER THE U.S. EAST COAST HAS TO MONITOR THIS ONE CLOSELY!...RTW
3. INVEST 91L is being monitored for tropical cyclone formation and now also has a medium chance for development 40% within 48 hrs. and medium chance 50% within the next 5-days....RTW

4. Showers and storms developing over the northern Leeward Islands and east Caribbean are mainly associated with the interaction between a tropical wave and a Middle to Upper Level Low over Dominican Republic that is tracking westward.  There are no signs of tropical cyclone formation at this time...RTW
