Discussion
The tropics are showing some signs of life as the month of August approaches with a couple of waves to monitor in the Atlantic Basin. The dry air mass that has encompassed the tropical Atlantic in recent days has retreated to the north in recent days and a very moist plume of air now extends from the west coast of Africa to the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, more favorable conditions are setting up potentially for tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin…stay tuned. Our chances for showers and thunderstorms in the local vicinity will remain today, but will tend to increase noticeably as we approach the upcoming weekend.
