It has been pretty quiet in the tropics since Isaías moved up the East Coast about week ago. Activity is bound to start picking up again soon, and the ingredients are there for a very active peak hurricane season. In fact NOAA released it’s updated 2020 season outlook. calling for up to 25 named storms (including the 9 we’ve already had).

We’ll be watching a tropical wave move across the Central Atlantic this week. It’s possible a depression forms over the next 3-4 days, but conditions are expected to become less conducive for development later in the week as it nears the Lesser Antilles. We’ll keep you posted if anything changes.

Isaias officially made landfall at Ocean Isle Beach, NC late Monday evening as a category 1 hurricane with winds of 85 mph. Storm surge, wind, and rain has been lashing parts of the SC/NC coast through the evening, but conditions will improve overnight as the storm races north.

Tropical storm-force winds and rain will rapidly move up the I-95 corridor through New England and into eastern Canada over the next 36-48 hours.
