Tropical Storm Gonzalo formed in the west central Atlantic from a low pressure area near the Windward Islands. Gonzalo will move to the northwest and north over the next 6 days or so and will be upgraded to a low category Hurricane sometime within the next 36 hours.  This storm will be affecting most of Puerto Rico and eastern Dominican Republic Monday night into Tuesday and will then be taken into the North Atlantic by upper level winds. Unless this storm makes an unanticipated move, this will be our only mention of Named Storm Gonzalo.

As a result of high speed upper level air currents associated with the Jet Stream branches, very little Tropical System development has taken place thus far this season in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.  As storms form in the Tropics and sub Tropics, the tops of these storms are sheared off by the upper level winds, preventing any major development.  This trend will be continuing for the time being, but we will continue to monitor any areas that may have the potential for Tropical Storm development and report here in this area of the website.

Thank you for following our unofficial advisories and updates.

TSRC does not usually track Pacific origin Tropical Storms or Hurricanes. Our software is configured for Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico Storms. However, Pacific Storm Odile came ashore in Baja California and is traveling northeast into the US.  Persons from southern California to far western Texas should be aware of the possibility of significant rainfall and flash flooding.

Tropical Storm Edouard formed out of Tropical Depression # 6 earlier today in the central Atlantic.  The storm will make hurricane status early this coming week, however, due to the upper level southwest to northeast steering currents that will be in place by then, this storm will remain out to sea, will pass well east of Bermuda and will not be affecting any coastal United States areas.   For that reason, this will be our only mention of Named Storm Edouard.

Tropical Storm Dolly formed in the southern Gulf of Mexico from a tropical depression.  This storm is very close to the eastern Mexico coast and will not be affecting US Coastal areas.  Localized flooding and rip currents will be present during and just after landfall in Mexico within 12 to 18 hours.  This will be our only mention of Tropical Storm Dolly.

Our TSRC analysis software is programmed for Tropical Storm activity in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, but today one of our alert monitors sounded when it detected exceptionally heavy rains throughout most of Kentucky. Persons from central and eastern Kentucky to eastern Ohio, most of Pennsylvania, northwestern Virginia and western New York State should be aware of rapidly changing conditions and flash flooding. Our TSRC office usually does not track inland storms, but due to the excessive moisture available to this series of storms, we are just mentioning this in the website today since many of our viewers may be affected by this situation.

Named Storm Cristobal – 2014

Tropical Storm Cristobal formed out of a Tropical Depression and is currently located in the southern Bahamas and north of Cuba. A feature of the jet stream will keep this storm well to the east of the US east coast, however, persons along the coast from Jacksonville, Florida to the North Carolina / Virginia border can expect higher than average tides, strong wave action and rip currents with some minor lowlands flooding. Cristobal may slowly intensify to low category Hurricane status by Wednesday, August 27, but since this storm will remain off the US east coast, this will be our only mention of Tropical Storm Cristobal UNLESS a completely unanticipated westerly track occurs.

We have been watching an Atlantic low pressure area for a few days. It is currently located mid way between the African West Coast of Senegal and the Lesser Antilies. This Atlantic low may be in a more favorable environment for development later this week and if it becomes a Tropical Depression or a named storm, we will start a new thread with details as needed.

Tropical Storm Bertha Update and final advisory August 03, 2014.

Tropical Storm Bertha has been very predictable. It is entering the area around Bermuda today and will start curving more and more to the northeast over the next few days – away from the US coast. However, persons from coastal Florida to New England can expect higher than normal wave action, tides and rip currents.

Since this storm poses no immediate threat to the US coastline, this will be our final mention of Tropical Storm Bertha – UNLESS an unanticipated westerly movement takes place.
