TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK JULY 15, 2017 0255 PM EDT

1. Three tropical waves and no signs of organization at this time. 

2. There is one area of showers and storms near 40°West that models suggest some development as it tracks west towards the Lesser Antilles, so I will keep an eye on that one. 

3. Some convective activity (thunderstorms) in associated with a trough in the Bahamas that is tracking west toward Florida.  That will more than likely enhance showers and storms plus lightning tomorrow maybe on Monday. 

4. We also have the persistent trough in the Gulf that also has is producing thunderstorms with plenty of lightning along the Florida Big Bend westward over the northern Gulf waters.  This trough is also tracking slowly westward.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK JULY 15, 2017 1220 AM EDT

The tropics remain quiet for now.  There are three waves and the one near Dominican Republic could enhance rain and storm chances for the Bahamas and Florida in the coming days.  Lightning detection network shows lightning over the southeast Bahamas and a portion of Dominican Republic and Haiti
