As we head into August, there are a few minor things to watch in the tropics, but nothing too concerning at the moment.
The National Hurricane Center has highlighted a tropical wave in the Caribbean for a 20% chance of becoming a tropical depression or storm over the next 5 days:
As you can see below, it's not a very organized system at the moment (image comes from www.weathernerds.org)
Still, it could bring some rain to Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, the Bahamas, and later Florida, so keep an eye on it!
Elsewhere, some tropical waves are rolling off Africa, but nothing is an imminent threat. August - October marks the busiest part of hurricane season, so make sure you are prepared in case things ramp up quickly!
I will update if anything changes regarding the system in the Caribbean or any of the waves coming across. As always, let me know if you have any questions!
