TRACKING THE TROPICS

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two tropical waves in the Atlantic basin for further development over the next 5-7 days.

A large tropical wave is located over the central Atlantic Ocean about 1,500 miles east-southeast of the Northern Leeward Islands. It is forecast to move westward toward the Islands of the Caribbean over the next week or so.

The overall risk of development is high (90%) as of Monday evening.

The environment will support gradual organization and development. Long-range guidance indicates that this system will turn to the north before posing any risk to the east coast of the U.S.

A second tropical wave is located in the western Caribbean Sea near the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. It is forecast to cross over into the southern Gulf later this week.

The main concern will be heavy rain for the Yucatan. The overall risk of development is low (10%) as of Monday evening.
