My latest take till I get back home: Good morning all, This will be quick as I have to get on the road to the airport to hopefully get back home tomorrow. I fear the towel brigade I left as guardians and protectors need reinforcements! 98L is no more. The African continent is strangely quiet with only a few puffs of wave white showing up on satellite. We do have a wave ready to exit the coast and will be ripe for development but is expected to be another fish storm. The attention span is concentrated on 97L, soon to be a TD, southeast of San Juan Puerto Rico, Already heavy rains have been experienced in the Virgin Islands, PR and the down islands as it passed through. Looking pretty impressive for the moment, it is devoid of a closed circiulation at the surface, hence still 97L status. Heavy rain with life threatening and property damaging potential will occur over the Virgin Islands, PR, and the Dominican Republic today, tomorrow and Friday as 97L slowly moves WNW around 10 mph. If it does develop it will likely be picked up by the trough coming offthe coast and turned out to sea possibly menacing Bermuda. Time as always, will tell. The tropical wave behind 97L could become 99L soon as 97L has been the vanguard of moisture enhancement. In addition, this wave is moving faster than 97L and could interfere with its development. This could get interesting. Either way, its a 1-2 punch for the northern islands. The Bay of Campeche has some action but this system is running out of time before plowing into Mexico with heavy rains as well. We still have 1/2 a season to go with 69% of the historical tropical energy in that second half. Stay vigilant my friends! Dave
