2017 Atlantic Discussion Thread #2

I don't want to be "that person" who says it, but I think I'm gonna love this hurricane season. As long as we don't get a major.

Nah, there's a lot of upper level divergence down there that looks to be aiding in thunderstorm development, but there's nothing going on tropical wise at the surface.

Could be having our next Invest area move off the coast of Africa Wednesday night. Then in a week from tomorrow, a depression in the central Atlantic moving west. The GFS has been hinting at this for the past 5 or 6 runs, but this is the most development it has shown so far.

Hour 264, weakening some and moving north of the Caribbean.

My gut tells me we *could* see a July hurricane. I'm noticing that these waves are holding together a bit better than expected for late June.

We have had July hurricanes in the following years:

1990 - Bertha
1996 - Bertha, Cesar
1997 - Bill, Danny
2003 - Claudette, Danny
2005 - Cindy, Dennis, Emily
2008 - Bertha, Dolly

(Note three Berthas, )

Tim I was born in the 80s and am very old-school and I have no idea what you're talking about old guy.
