Long Range Models Suggest More Tropical Activty Possible Over the Next 7 Days

Good morning everyone. On the heels of our damaging storm that just impacted a large portion of the Southeast & Central States, we continue to have to watch the tropics for future activity.
This is the time of year where we continue to have to watch Central America and the lower Caribbean for tropical development from old waves and stalled out fronts. Unfortunately, the weather events from the last 72hrs, doesn’t make us immune for the rest of the season.
We set the clock back to zero over the next couple of days and begin to keep an eye on the typical trouble spots for late-season tropical development. This is because long range models suggesting that a new tropical wave or tropical depression, could develop in the lower Caribbean, and take a similar path to what we just had.
Late in the workweek this week will give us a better idea of what to expect or not to expect, because this is around the time we would expect low pressure to pass between Cuba and the Yucatan of Mexico, then enter the Gulf.
