Harvey will finally moves onshore and head up the Mississippi valley Thursday. The rains will finally end in Texas and Louisiana and the long clean up can begin. Impacts from Harvey will be felt for months, if not years! We will be keeping a close eye on an area of low pressure near the Cabo Verde Islands in the far eastern tropical Atlantic. More than likely, this will develop into “Irma” in a day or two. It is still over 3000 miles away from Florida, so we have plenty of time to watch it for any threats to land, including the United States. On a side note, many models develop a weak area of low pressure in the southwest Gulf of Mexico that could push more moisture and rain into Texas late this week. It is the last thing Texans want to hear!

We do have a new storm to watch just off the coast of Georgia. At 5pm Sunday evening, the National Hurricane Center began issuing advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten. This system is forecast to become a weak Tropical Storm Irma by late tonight before skirting the coast of the Carolinas Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning. Tropical storm watches are currently in place from South Santee River, South Carolina, to Duck, North Carolina.
