Tropical Update Tuesday 8-30-16,  8:30 am

8/30/2016

 
Good morning.

TD #9 continues to move west slowly and is expected to turn to the NW and eventually N and NE. The NHC has not revised its track since yesterday and yesterday's chart still holds. (see 8-29-16 forecast track/diagram). Pressures are dropping (29.62" last advisory) and the system is expected to become a tropical storm today. We should continue to see enhanced shower activity through Thursday due to higher atmospheric moisture associated with this system.

Of note is that the tropical wave which I wrote about yesterday moved off the African coast last night. Yesterday it moved SW and exited the coast at around 12 degrees N latitude. (see yesterday's post) 

 I'll be watching it.

Until next time,

                                         Matt.
