Discussion

Upper-level high pressure will build over the northeast US and the southeastern part of Canada in coming days and this may open the door for tropical activity to closely monitor around here as we head towards the middle of the month. The Atlantic Basin has been quiet in recent weeks, but signs point to a ramp up of activity over the next ten days or so with the build-up of high pressure to the north. In addition, there is a favorable signal from a teleconnection index known as the Madden-Julian Oscillation for tropical activity as it is headed into favorable “phasing” for the Atlantic Basin.
