Although the hurricane season in the Atlantic has begun with a slow start, it seems like things are finally starting to heat up. A large wave of thunderstorm activity has made it's way off the African coast and is now located just to the southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. Conditions are favorable for further development, and the National Hurricane Center has noted a large, broad area of low pressure near the center of convection. The NHC is giving this area of thunderstorm activity a greater than 50/50 chance of becoming a tropical storm within the next 48 hours. It is currently moving due west at 10-15 mph. We will continue to monitor this developing situation!

We have Tropical Storm Ana now; the redeveloped TD #2 has become the first named storm of the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season.

Should be on NHC's site shortly.

…and now it's two systems.

We now have Tropical Storm's Ana and Bill in the Atlantic right now.

Again, should be on NHC's site by next update.

…and with this, we have three systems.

Tropical Depression Four has developed in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico. This system has the potential to become a tropical Storm before making landfall on the Northern Gulf Coast in the 24 hours.

All this while Ana and Bill continue to develop in the Atlantic Ocean and churn westwards, potentially posing a threat to land within the next week,

Same as before; NHC will have this updated by the 5 AM ET Advisory.

WOW…from a lack of tropical systems and a 0,0,0 season…to this!

Sheesh, nobody else find the tropics interesting enough to post?
 
 
0 #6 TBone1082 2009-08-17 20:20 Keeping an eye on Bill here, if that Front doesn't push East enough, it looks like it could take a header right up into the Northeast. Would be our first named storm up here in years.
