TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 AM EDT WED JUL 29 2015

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A tropical wave accompanied by a weak low pressure system is
producing an area of showers and thunderstorms a couple of hundred
miles southeast of the Cape Verde Islands. Environmental
conditions are expected to be at least marginally conducive for
some slow development through the weekend while the disturbance
moves westward at about 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent

It sure looks impressive today. It's the first of the cape verde season waves so let's be patient and see how the rest of the season unfolds. It's only July 29th and the peak is August 11th thru September 11th.

I'll let yall know if anything comes up. It only takes a storm 2-3 days for a storm to go from the cape verde islands to St. Maarten and the southeast caribbean. The last storm we had only gave us 18 hours notice. It would be our luck that we get a volcano about to blow and cause tsunami and hurricane hit at the same time.
