Next tropical system may be brewing

August 24, 2009

There are hints of the next tropical system developing over the Atlantic, although as of this writing nothing has formed yet.  If the area of clouds and thunderstorms northeast of the Leeward Islands becomes better organized, then the Tropical Prediction Center would start issuing updates.  

Bill continues to weaken rapidly over the northern Atlantic.  The forecast track by most all of the computer guidance was remarkably accurate over Bill’s lifecycle, largely due to the clearly defined upper-level steering currents.
