BREAKING NEWS. AND WE JUST HAD A NEW OUTLINED AREA FOR THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER THAT I’VE BEEN DISCUSSING ALL AFTERNOON. 5:00 IF YOU HAPPEN TO JOIN US. AND THAT WAS TROPICAL WAVE COMING OFF OF AFRICA OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS, 3 TO 7 DAYS, LOW CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT. BUT YOU SEE THE ZONE SHOWN, WE NOW DROP TO A 0% CHANCE NEAR ZERO FOR THE SYSTEM IN THE EAST COAST, AND STILL A MEDIUM CHANCE AS THIS SYSTEM, THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC, COULD DO SOMETHING. BUT WHAT WE’RE REALLY WATCHING HERE IS JUST DISORGANIZED STORM ACTIVITY IN THE FORECAST DATA HAS BEEN AWFULLY UNIMPRESSIVE WITH IT TOO. SO THIS IS GOING TO MOVE FARTHER AWAY EVEN FROM CANADA TOO. SO THERE’S NO WORRIES ABOUT THAT. THE SYSTEM CENTRAL ATLANTIC, THERE’S STILL THIS CHANCE MAYBE TROPICAL DEPRESSION IT COULD GET TO MAYBE TROPICAL STORM STATUS. IT’S ACTUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEXT OUTLINED AREA WHERE THE CENTER OF THE SYSTEM CIRCULATING. SOME STORM ACTIVITY HAS GROWN. BUT AGAIN, THIS GETS CAUGHT IN THE HIGH PRESSURE OFF OF AFRICA COAST. AND THAT’S GOING TO FORCE IT NORTHWARD. EVEN DOESN’T GET CLOSE TO BERMUDA. SO LET’S FOCUS ON THIS NEWEST TROPICAL WAVE WITH THE NEWEST LOW CHANCE OF POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT. IT’S THE CLUSTER OF STORMS SHOWN RIGHT HERE.

AS WE GET INTO THE NEXT WEEKEND AFTER THIS TRACKS TAKING THIS THAT’S PUERTO RICO. THERE’S DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, THERE’S CUBA, HERE’S FLORIDA. AND THEN IT SHOWS MAYBE SOME MOVEMENT NORTH OF THE GREATER ANTILLES. BUT THIS LATEST FORECAST FROM THIS AFTERNOON AND THESE ARE JUST ONE RUN FORECAST DETERMINISTIC. THIS IS OUT OF THE US. AND THE ONE THAT CAME IN THIS AFTERNOON REALLY WANTS TO TAKE THIS FARTHER NORTH. AND THEN IT COULD BE MAYBE AN EAST COAST THING. BUT THE THING IS THERE’S STILL A VARIETY OF SOLUTIONS THIS FAR AWAY. IT’S A LONG WAYS AWAY IN BOTH DISTANCE AND TIME. SO REALLY FEW WORRIES RIGHT NOW, BUT IT COULD BE ONE OF THE BIGGER STORMS OF THE YEAR SO FAR. 91 WAS THE HIGH. TODAY WE’RE STILL STANDING AT 90. A FEW OF US INTO THE 80S. OF COURSE, THE DEW POINTS WELL, NOT TOO BAD IN SOME PLACES, BUT HAMMOND’S AT 79. WE COULD FIND A FEW STORMS AS SOON AS WE GET UP TOMORROW MORNING.
