Tropical Update: June 8th, 2017

All is quiet across the Atlantic Basin, and it is expected to remain that way for the foreseeable future. The system we were monitoring for potential development this past weekend never developed due to unfavorable upper level winds.

In the long-range,  7 – 10 days from now, there looks like there could be some potential for tropical development in the Caribbean or Gulf of Mexico.

Some of the more reliable model guidance is picking up on this potential for the past week or s. Additionally, the MJO (Madden Julian Oscillation) is expected to be in a favorable state for tropical development in the Atlantic during this time, so it is worth monitoring.

At this time it is nothing to be concerned about; development might not even occur, but the potential is there.
