Saturday Morning Tropical Update

August 1, 2020

I think the calendar is broken, I'm not sure how it can be August already...I apologize for not getting an update out yesterday. I wanted to wait until Friday to let the forecast for Isaias settle and then Friday got busy. I figured most of you were following things closely anyways.

Hurricane Isaias will continue its course up the east coast. Right now it isn't forecast to strengthen more than a category 1 hurricane but that could change some if it tracks more over open water. At a minimum it looks like it may bring hurricane or tropical storm conditions from Florida all the way to the Canadian Maritimes.


Looking at the rest of the tropics there are a few other areas of interest but no serious threats to land are currently expected. TD Ten located in the far eastern Atlantic may strengthen enough to get a name before it encounters hostile conditions and weakens. The orange 'x' is a strong tropical wave that may strengthen a little but it looks to take a path out to sea, maybe one near Bermuda, but no significant impacts are expected.


I'm not seeing much in the longer term and there's a possibility that the first part of August is quiet in the tropics. Things can change so I'll let you know if something pops up.

That's all I have for today. Have a great weekend.

Chris
