We are past the peak of hurricane season but October is still a busy month in the tropics. Our focus of development shifts from the Atlantic, to the western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Some long term models are hinting at development in these areas during the next couple of weeks. But as you know, that far out things can change quite a bit.

There are 2 areas with disorganized shower activity that we are watching. Any development in these locations would be slow to occur.

Lorenzo has weakened to a category 2 hurricane and is racing off to the northeast. It will pass west of the Azores and then near Ireland and the United Kingdom later this week.
