See area of interest section below for an update on the tropical disturbance in the western Atlantic accelerating east into the central Atlantic. It is quiet elsewhere in the Atlantic tropics.
AREA OF INTEREST #1… The surface low pressure area in the western Atlantic continues eastward with the surface ridge weakness induced by the upper trough that has recently entered the northwest Atlantic from southeastern Canada. The upper trough is also shearing the thunderstorm activity to the east of the surface low… therefore tropical cyclone formation is not anticipated. The surface low is likely to transition into a non-tropical frontal low supported by the eastern divergence zone of the upper trough as the trough and surface low move together rapidly into the open central Atlantic. This is my final statement on this disturbance on this blog as it is also being cancelled from the NHC tropical weather outlook as of this morning.
