There remains few areas of concern through at least the weekend across the Atlantic Basin.
But as mentioned since this past weekend... A rather persistent upper level trough of low pressure is evolving over the Eastern U.S. This trough will likely lead to the development of - perhaps - several nontropical surface low pressure systems near the U.S. east coast &/or Western Atlantic or maybe even the Eastern Gulf. While not a great concern at the moment, these lows will be something to keep an eye on in the longer range for persistent t’storm clusters &/or an attempt at transition to subtropical or tropical systems. The NHC has popped a yellow hatch area (”slight chance/10%”) just east of Fl.
.... Lots of Saharan dust is over the Central & Eastern Atlantic right now, but these waves might be a hint of things to come in the long range &, of course, something to always track once out of the more hostile atmospheric conditions.
Saharan dust. Dry air - yellow/orange/red/pink - is extensive over the Central & Eastern Atlantic. Such widespread dust is common early in the hurricane season - through July - & is indicative of dry air that can impede the development of tropical cyclones. However, sometimes “wanna’ be” waves will just wait until they get to the other side of the plume then try to develop if everything else happens to be favorable.
2021 names..... “Fred” is the next name on the Atlantic list (names are picked at random by the World Meteorological Organization... repeat every 6 years... historic storms are retired (Florence & Michael in ’18... Dorian in ’19 & Laura, Eta & Iota in ‘20). Last year - 2020 - had a record 30 named storms. The WMO decided beginning in 2021 that the Greek alphabet will be no longer used & instead there will be a supplemental list of names if the first list is exhausted (has only happened twice - 2005 & 2020). More on the history of naming tropical cyclones * here *.
