Tropics Remain Active; Threat To U.S. Is Low

As of Saturday evening, we’re still watching three separate disturbances in the Atlantic basin. Harvey has been battling with dry air today and has weakened to a tropical depression for the time being. Over the next 24 hours, it should be able to regain tropical storm status as it moves west-northwest toward Central America. Harvey will bring heavy rains to portions of Nicaragua and Honduras on Monday before moving into Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula on Tuesday. As of now, no tropical storm watches or warnings have been issued for those areas yet.

There are still two tropical waves riding in the wake of Harvey. Of most interest is Invest 92L; although, odds of development with this wave continue to drop. It will have to contend with quite a bit of wind shear in addition to pockets of dry air over the next few days as it moves towards the Bahamas. Even though development is not likely, it will likely bring periods of heavy rain to the islands; as well as increased rain chances for parts of Florida by mid-late week.
