Welcome to new subscribers (free and paid) for 2024 Hurricane Season \u2014 your support is very much appreciated. These newsletters continue year-round with Winter Weather coverage into 2025, so signing up for a Annual Plan gets ~360 updates for $1/week.

The tropical wave has made it to 50\u00b0W longitude without much shower activity or change in organization. Into this weekend, the wave will reach the Bahamas and find a more moist and unstable environment to fire up showers and thunderstorms. However, wind shear and proximity to U.S. East Coast trough and another TUTT from the east. The squeeze play will elongate the vorticity of the disturbance and work against intensification initially. However, as the system moves NNE over the Western Atlantic, it could take off and intensify according to some ensemble weather model solutions.

NHC has increased the development to 60%. The next name is Debby.

Still little shower activity in the tropics from the Gulf of Mexico into the Caribbean and much of the Main Development Region. Saharan Air Layers have dried out the entire basin over the past 2-weeks post-Beryl.

NHC analyzed (06z) the tropical wave at 50\u00b0W but still without any convection.

...TROPICAL WAVES...\n\nA tropical wave is near 50W, south of 21N, moving westward at 15\nkt. No significant convection is noted near this wave axis.

ECMWF 00z HRES Model Solution | 10-days

My favorite parameter Integrated Vapor Transport (IVT) shows the WNW track of the tropical wave with moisture along the northern periphery. As the wave approaches the Bahamas, it slows down and perhaps stalls over Florida or the near-coastal waters.

In the Eastern Pacific, at least 2 hurricanes develop.

\"\"

The simulated water vapor does not show a favorable environment for the tropical wave as a upper-level trough pinwheels just to the east ready to disrupt. This animation through Sunday evening shows the disturbance east of Florida. A long way to go with this system.

All tracks through 10-days:

The uncertainty with ECMWF EPS lies in the intensity off the U.S. East Coast with a recurving track. Many members have a powerful hurricane even at 40\u00b0N prior to cross the wall of the Gulf Stream. Ocean temperatures > 28\u00b0C extend northward well off the New Jersey coastline.

AIFS (00z) using MSLP normalized anomaly: The track of the tropical wave is nicely shown with a stalling/looping just west of Bermuda in 7-10 days. Another tropical wave enters the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico in the long range > 10-days.

The dust layers are less intense over the next 10-days but still traveling across the Atlantic basin. The Saharan dust season will continue to wane over the next few weeks.

Eastern Pacific Tropical Outlook

\"\"

At least 2-hurricanes likely in the Eastern Pacific over the next 7-10 days. They would be named Carlotta and Daniel.

At Day 7 \u2026 Carlotta will have gone through its lifecycle with Daniel getting started.
