tropical update wednesday 8/24/22, 7 am

8/24/2022

 
Good morning.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew. For those who were here for it, we will never forget.

In the tropics things are changing. See images below. The Saharan dry air and dust is still present but is starting to erode and has moved slightly north. Wind shear over the Caribbean and tropical Atlantic has lessened and waters remain warm over the Gulf of Mexico and the Western Caribbean. As noted previously these will be the areas to watch. Dry air should continue to hinder any development for the next week or so but as we enter September the tropics should become more active. Central America, Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico remain at greatest risk this season.

I'll be watching.

I hope everyone is having a good summer.

Until next time,
                                                                  Matt.
