Good afternoon.
All remains quiet on the western front.
Weak high pressure remains over the Gulf of Mexico and Florida and a weak NW flow continues over Florida. The Caribbean and the Western Gulf of Mexico contain unusually warm water however due to our current strong El Nino nothing has been able to reach those areas. As cold fronts move into the Gulf with fall we may see a low spin up out there late in the season. The NW Caribbean will also be an area to watch however I wouldn't be surprised if nothing happens there until the El Nino ends next year.
If you look at the bottom diagram below, a summary of the storms and their tracks so far this season, you will notice a decided absence of systems in the Caribbean.
Until next time,
Matt.
