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 east-to-west moving tropical activity 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.
