HURRICANE LORENZO Discussion Thread

Looks like Lorenzo is up next.


Satellite images show that the thunderstorm activity associated

with a strong tropical wave that has moved off the west coast of

Africa this morning is quickly becoming better organized.

Environmental conditions are conducive for further development, and

a tropical depression or tropical storm is expected to form later

today or tonight while the system moves generally westward over the

eastern tropical Atlantic at 15 to 20 mph. Interests in the Cabo

Verde Island should monitor the progress of this disturbance.

Regardless of development, this system is likely to bring locally

heavy rainfall and gusty winds to portions of the southern Cabo

Verde Islands.
