ATLANTIC TROPICS

  • A large cluster of clouds from a system to the east of Caribbean is being watched for possible tropical cyclone development. Models are not doing much with it at the moment. NHC calls for a 10% chance of forming in the next 48 hours. I tend to agree.
The quiet continues in the tropics
