TD2 has formed in the Atlantic and could become a tropical storm as early as tonight. As the storm develops we will be posting more detailed information. It is too soon to tell what if any threat this system might pose to interests of the United State.
El Nino in force
We are seeing increased activity in the Pacific Basin and little to no activity in the Atlantic. This is typical during an El Nino event. While the Sea Surface Temperatures remain condusive for development in the Atlantic, high shear and the SAL are inhibiting development.
As we edge into Fall, we could see more development of systems in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, but for now, in our neck of the woods, all remains quiet.
