Thursday Afternoon Tropics Forecast from Trevor Sonnier.

National Hurricane Center has now highlighted our tropical wave in the Caribbean, giving it a low chance for development through the next 5 days. Conditions could become more conducive for low-end development once the wave enters the Gulf of Mexico early next week.

Early Thursday morning Tropical Forecast from Chris Cozart.

As we head into the peak of the Atlantic Hurricane Season we are seeing signs of the activity across the Atlantic Basin increasing.  Currently there is a well defined low pressure system off the coast Africa that has a very high chance of intensifying and becoming our next named storm, which is Florence. 

Fortunately, this system should move to the north and stay well within the central Atlantic Ocean over its lifespan.
