RTW TRACKING THE TROPICS UPDATE...09:20AM EDT

 

TRACKING INVEST 96L EAST OF GEORGIA AND THE CAROLINA COAST AND 95L OVER CENTRAL ATLANTIC.

INVEST 96L HAS A LARGE AREA OF STORMS WEST OF WHERE THE 96L SURFACE LOW IS LOCATED.  ACCORDING TO NHC THIS SYSTEM COULD BECOME A DEPRESSION OR TROPICAL STORM BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL THIS EVENING.  HEAVY RAINS, WITH GUSTY WINDS AND POSSIBLE FLOODING WILL MOVE INLAND THIS EVENING AND TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS MAY BE ISSUED BY NHC LATER TODAY IF 96L EXPANDS IN SIZE AND BECOMES STRONGER.  

THIS SYSTEM 70-70% CHANCE FOR FORMATION THROUGH 48HRS AND 5-DAYS.

INVEST 95L COULD BECOME A DEPRESSION OR TROPICAL STORM AS IT TRACKS CLOSER TO THE LESSER ANTILLES.  MODELS SHOW THIS SYSTEM WEAKENING AS IT TRACKS INTO THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN.  

THIS SYSTEM HAS A 20-40% CHANCE FOR FORMATION THROUGH 48HRS AND 5-DAYS.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Sun Jun 27 2021

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Satellite imagery and nearby buoy and ship observations indicate 
that a small low pressure system has formed about 500 miles 
east-southeast of the Georgia-South Carolina border. Surface 
pressures have begun to fall across the area, and showers and 
thunderstorms have recently become better organized. Some additional 
development of this system will be possible later today, and 
especially on Monday when the system will move across the warmer 
waters of the Gulf Stream, and a tropical depression could form 
before the system makes landfall along the southern U.S. coast. The 
low is expected to move westward today, and then west-northwestward 
at about 15 mph on Monday, reaching the coast of the southeastern 
United States by late Monday.  An Air Force Reserve Unit 
reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system 
Monday afternoon, if necessary.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

An area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave located over 
the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean more than 700 miles southwest of 
the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and 
thunderstorms. Little, if any, development of this system is 
expected for the next couple of days, followed by some gradual 
development by Wednesday and continuing through the end of the week 
while it moves it moves westward to west-northwestward at about 20 
mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A tropical wave associated with a broad area of low pressure is 
located over the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean about 400 miles 
south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.  Although shower and 
thunderstorm activity is currently disorganized, some slow 
development will be possible over the next several days while the 
disturbance moves generally westward at 15 to 20 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

A surface trough located a couple hundred miles south of Bermuda is 
producing a broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. 
Although surface pressures are currently high across the area, some 
additional slow development could occur while the system moves 
westward at 10 to 15 mph over the next few days. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the far eastern Atlantic 
are associated with a strong tropical wave.  Development, if any, of 
this system should be slow to occur during the next several days due 
to marginally conducive environmental conditions.  This wave is 
expected to move westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph 
across the tropical eastern and central Atlantic through the middle 
of next week.

200 PM EDT Thu Jun 24 2021

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A strong tropical wave located over the far east Atlantic off the 
African coast is producing a broad area of showers and 
thunderstorms. As the system moves west-northwestward into the 
central Atlantic Ocean, conditions appear only marginally conducive 
for development due to relatively cool ocean temperatures. However, 
a small tropical depression could still form by early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.

Recent satellite-derived surface winds indicate that the small area 
of low pressure located about 100 miles east-southeast of Barbados 
has degenerated into a trough. In addition, shower and thunderstorm 
activity has diminished with this system. Unfavorable upper-level 
winds are expected to prevent development of this disturbance while 
moving toward the west-northwest at about 10 mph.  Even though 
development is not expected, the disturbance could produce increased 
shower activity and some gusty winds while moving across the Lesser 
Antilles over the next couple of days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...near 0 percent.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity is decreasing this 
morning to the east of a small area of low pressure located more 
than 100 miles east-southeast of Barbados.  Increasing upper-level 
winds are likely to prevent further development of this system 
during the next couple of days while it moves west-northwestward at 
about 10 mph.  This disturbance could produce increased shower 
activity and some gusty winds while moving across the Lesser 
Antilles over the next couple of days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.

A strong tropical wave has emerged just off the coast of Africa this 
morning.  Although ocean temperatures are still relatively cool over 
the tropical Atlantic Ocean and are only marginally conducive for 
development, a small tropical depression could form by early next 
week while this system moves westward to west-northwestward at about 
15 mph across the tropical eastern and central Atlantic Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.

TRACK THE TROPICS WITH RTW

THE STORM INVEST EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS STILL HAS A LOW 10% FORMATION CHANCE THROUGH 48 HOURS AND 5-DAYS.  UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS AND DRY AIR AHEAD OF THIS INVEST WILL KEEP IT FROM DEVELOPING.

A FUTURE STRONGER WAVE WILL EMERGE OFF THE AFRICAN COAST BY FRIDAY OR THE WEEKEND.  MODELS THIS MORNING HAD THIS WAVE DEVELOPING A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND TRACKING IT FURTHER WEST ACROSS THE ATLANTIC WITH AN AREA OF SQUALLS TO THE NORTH OF THE SYSTEM, AND POSSIBLY MOVING INTO THE CARIBBEAN.  THIS ONE WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED.

FORMATION CHANCE FOR FUTURE INVEST IS LOW 0% THROUGH 48 HOURS AND LOW 20% THROUGH 5-DAYS.

REMEMBER THOUGH LONG RANGE FORECAST USUALLY HAVE ERROR IN THE FORECAST.
