has allowed my attention to wander.

sahara dust. if we could only put a giant solar powered fan at timbucktu to keep that dust blowing.

😀

By Wednesday or Thursday we’ll see high chance. Lots of factors will come into play - many way beyond my pay grade😀

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Near the Lesser and Greater Antilles:
An area of disturbed weather over the central tropical Atlantic
Ocean is expected to interact with an approaching tropical wave
during the next several days. Development of this system is possible
while it approaches the Lesser Antilles during the early to middle
part of next week and moves generally west-northwestward near or
over the Greater Antilles towards the latter part of next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

Too early to know where this ends up but looks like some countries/islands will be hit

Notice now 30% chance of formation in a week up from 20%

Need to watch this one closely.

This looks like another fast developing hurricane

praying that it touches down on 17 acres in Palm Beach, renders dozens of black sharpies forever unusable, bounces back into the Atlantic, heads ENE, and is never heard from again. 🌀
