Discussion
The Atlantic Basin tropical scene remains quite active as we end the work week with two systems out over the open waters of the ocean and a third system over the northwestern part of the Caribbean Sea. It is this third system now over the Caribbean that is of most concern as it presents a big threat of a powerful hurricane by later Sunday in the northern Gulf coastal region. This tropical system is likely to undergo rapid intensification this weekend and could attain “major” hurricane status (i.e., category 3 or higher) before a potential landfall late in the weekend.
