With about 35% of the season remaining we are far from being in the clear just yet, on the other hand it does look like things are starting to wind down in the Cape Verde ‘breeding grounds’… The NHC is looking at the area of weather over the Islands right now, giving it a slim chance to develop but I have my doubts that anything is going to happen with the wave. Even if it would every indication is the system would recurve long before reaching land. The Long Range GFS never locks in on a tropical system either, in fact it shows nothing sustained over the next 10 days. This area does bear watching though, and a slim chance that something might get going in the GOM/BOC does exist, so that is another area to watch. I really do not expect anything to happen over the weekend at least, so unless something sneaks up on us I will make another post sometime next week… Until then take care and stay safe.
