Good morning,
I thought it was about time I posted a new blog. Ike is long gone but weirdly enough still causing problems and people are still trying to get lives back to normal. Laura is the latest tropical storm and I'm starting wonder if it isn't the last. Probably not, but things certainly have quieted down in the tropics. There are no signs of tropical development this week and now we are past the peak season. Meantime, Tropical Storm Laura continues to weaken and head toward the Bristish Isles.
So far we have 12 named storms, slightly above average for the entire season. As for the month of October, most tropical systems now start to flare up in the Carribean more so than the Eastern Atlantic. Without a lot open water to work with, most of the storms that develop would likely only reach Tropical Storm or weak hurricane status. But like I said, I didn't see any evidence in any of the data this morning of much activity if any in the next week to 10 days.
Have a great day, Brett
