Tracking the Tropics!

. (.)

Keep an eye on the system trying to develop in the Caribbean. With models changing from run to run, one big question remains.

Where, is what could become Helene, going to go?

Because of the uncertainty, it’s a good time to review family plans and your supply kits.

Based on the latest model runs, formation chances will increase this weekend and next week.

Caribbean: Moderate to fresh winds with moderate seas expected across the east and central Caribbean. Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure

could form early next week over the western and northwestern Caribbean Sea. Thereafter, gradual development of this system is possible, and a tropical depression could form as the system moves slowly to the north or northwest over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico through the middle part of next week.

There is a medium chance of tropical cyclone formation in the next seven days.

Central Subtropical Atlantic - Remnants of Gordon: An area of showers and thunderstorms located over the central subtropical Atlantic is associated with the remnants of Gordon. Some development of this system is possible while it moves northward or north-northeastward over the next few days.

Formation chance through 48 hours and 7 days is 30 percent.

RELATED: PLAN AND PREPARE

Central and Western Subtropical Atlantic: An area of low pressure located about 750 miles southeast of Bermuda is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear only marginally conducive, but some development of this system is possible while it meanders over the open waters of the central or western Subtropical Atlantic though early next week.

Formation chance through 48 hours is 20 percent and the formation chance through 7 days is 30 percent.
