Carolina tropical depression strengthening, Caribbean disturbance disorganized
Tropical Depression Three continues to organize off the coast of South Carolina. Wilmington, NC long range radar shows the steady development of solid spiral bands of thunderstorms on all sides of the center, and these bands have begun bringing heavy rains to the North Carolina coast. Rainfall amounts as high as 3 inches have fallen just north of Wilmington, NC, as estimated by weather radar (Figure 1). TD 3 is over waters of marginal warmth, about 27°C, a degree a...<br /><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=990&tstamp=200807">Read More</a>
Tropical Depression 3 forms near South Carolina
Tropical Depression Three has formed off the Southeast U.S. coast. Charleston, SC long range radar shows the slow development of a solid spiral band of thunderstorms to the southeast of the center, away from land. The storm is over waters of marginal warmth, about 27°C, a degree above the threshold of 26°C needed to sustain a tropical storm. The warm waters are very shallow, and the Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential is near zero, meaning we're unlikely to see rapid ...<br /><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=989&tstamp=200807">Read More</a>
Area off of GA/SC looking healthier, Invest 94L still sputtering, Bertha revived
Things still remain busy in the tropics (at least for July). The area that was over the western Caribbean yesterday -- Invest 95L for those keeping track -- is now over Central America and no longer poses a significant threat of development. Now in the central Caribbean, Invest 94L is continuing to play games with us by first looking like it wants to develop and then fading away. Closer to home, Invest 96L is looking more organized and could develop in a tropical de...<br /><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=988&tstamp=200807">Read More</a>
Four areas of interest to watch in the Atlantic
We're now up to a total of four areas in the Atlantic that we're keeping an eye on. Where should I start? I guess the most logical place is the only named storm. Before I get there, below you'll find a satellite shot with all four systems marked. I know you guys have been waiting for this post judging by the emails that I've gotten, so here we go:Current active systems of interestBertha is still hanging around the central Atlantic and at this point is becoming one o...<br /><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=987&tstamp=200807">Read More</a>
Bertha turns to the east, Invest 94L still there
Tropical Storm Bertha has finally turned toward the east at 6 mph and is now packing maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and her central pressure has ticked up to 996 mb. A general track to the east is expected to continue for the next few days with slight strengthening possible.Bertha - Watches and WarningsBertha is starting to look pretty ragged on satellite imagery. Her circulation is becoming elongated due to synoptic steering patterns, but shear over the center o...<br /><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=986&tstamp=200807">Read More</a>
