Two storms forming

[JoeyandDavid]

There are two tropical fronts forming in the Atlantic.. will the become Hurricanes or fizzile out?

[JoeyandDavid]

The orange is number one yellow is number two:

1. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE...ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE...IS

CENTERED A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES EAST OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS.

SHOWER ACTIVITY IS PRESENTLY LIMITED AND DISPLACED WELL TO THE

NORTHEAST OF THE LOW CENTER. HOWEVER...UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE

FORECAST TO GRADUALLY BECOME CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT OVER THE

NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...AND THIS SYSTEM COULD BECOME A TROPICAL

DEPRESSION ON THURSDAY OR FRIDAY AS IT MOVES THROUGH OR JUST NORTH

OF THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS.

2. A LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS LOCATED ABOUT 1400 MILES EAST OF THE

LESSER ANTILLES. SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH THIS SYSTEM REMAINS

DISORGANIZED AND DEVELOPMENT...IF ANY...IS EXPECTED TO BE SLOW TO

OCCUR AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES SLOWLY WESTWARD.

ELSEWHERE.. TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE

NEXT 48 HOURS.

Boy I hope they get the heck outta dodge by September

Isn't it a bit early for hurricane season? Sure hope this doesn't mean a very long hurricane season with lots of damage.

Thanks for the post, Joey. Looks like us Floridians had better start watching the weather channel.

Tonights Update

800 PM EDT THU AUG 14 2008

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

1. THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE HAS

CONTINUED TO MOVE WESTWARD ABOUT 15 MPH AND IS NOW CENTERED OVER

THE VIRGIN ISLANDS. SATELLITE IMAGES AND AIRCRAFT DATA INDICATE

THAT THE SYSTEM HAS NOT BECOME ANY BETTER ORGANIZED DURING THE PAST

SEVERAL HOURS. HOWEVER...UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE FAVORABLE FOR

DEVELOPMENT AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM AT ANY TIME DURING

THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...HEAVY RAINS

AND GUSTY WINDS WILL LIKELY SPREAD OVER PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN

LEEWARD ISLANDS...THE VIRGIN ISLANDS...PUERTO RICO...AND HISPANIOLA

DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. INTERESTS IN THESE AREAS AS WELL AS THE

TURK AND CAICOS...SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS AND EASTERN CUBA SHOULD

MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.

2. A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED ABOUT 1000 MILES EAST

OF THE LESSER ANTILLES IS ACCOMPANIED BY DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND

THUNDERSTORMS. DEVELOPMENT...IF ANY...IS EXPECTED TO BE SLOW TO

OCCUR AS THE SYSTEM MOVES WESTWARD ABOUT 10 TO 15 MPH.
