Discussion
The Atlantic Basin tropical season has been quiet in recent weeks, but it looks like it’ll “flip like a switch” as the calendar turns from August to September this weekend. There are currently multiple areas of interest in the tropical Atlantic and there is the chance that one system nears the state of Florida or the Gulf of Mexico by the time the Labor Day holiday rolls around. High pressure over the Northeast US and SE Canada assures that systems that form in the SW Atlantic in coming days will be able to travel from east-to-west in the clockwise flow around the high pressure region. Signs point to a potential active time period in the tropics not only next week, but perhaps right into at least mid-month.
