MY SPECIAL MESSAGES (MONDAY AUGUST 18 2025 6:25 AM EDT)

See the latest birdseye view post published below for more information regarding the following and on current activity elsewhere in the Atlantic tropics:
Major Hurricane Erin is currently positioned just northeast of the southeastern Bahamas, see the latest birdseye view post published below for forecast impacts to the northern Caribbean islands, the Bahamas, Bermuda, and the east coast of continential North America
A tropical wave of low pressure currently in the eastern tropical Atlantic may undergo tropical cyclone formation as it approaches the northeastern Caribbean Islands (northern Lesser Antilles, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico) late this week into the weekend, interests here should monitor the progress of this disturbance.
As the author of infohurricanes.com, I have also been monitoring the progress of the worldwide progress of the COVID-19 virus. The COVID-19 page has not been updated over the last several months. The COVID-19 page will be updated with a final report on how the virus progressed over last few years.

BIRDSEYE VIEW POSTS

Since 2012 on the now retired Weather Underground blogs, I have been posting annotated "birdseye view" charts of the Atlantic basin, with a detailed explanation and forecasting that references the chart. From there you may know me as "NCHurricane2009." While I now do these "birdseye view" posts here, I will continue to do comments at Yale Climate Connections via Disqus where the former Weather Underground community has moved to. Feel free to reply to me there, at my Disqus feed at this link, or via e-mail at IOHurricanes@outlook.com
