800 AM EDT Sun Jul 16 2017

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. A low pressure trough located about 1000 miles east-southeast of
of the Windward Islands is producing disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Although this system is close to dry air, some
slow development is possible over the next few days while the
system moves westward at 15 to 20 mph. An Air Force Reserve
reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the
disturbance Monday afternoon, if necessary.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 AM EDT Mon Jul 17 2017

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. A small low pressure system located about 800 miles east of the
Windward Islands is moving westward at about 15 mph. Associated
shower and thunderstorm activity is beginning to show some signs
of organization, and environmental conditions are forecast to be
marginally conducive for some development of this system before it
reaches the Lesser Antilles in two to three days. After that time,
less favorable upper-level winds are expected to hinder additional
development. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is
scheduled to investigate the disturbance this afternoon, if
necessary.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

2. An area of disturbed weather has developed several hundred miles
west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Some development of
this system is possible over the next several days while it moves
slowly toward the west-northwest or northwest over the open Atlantic
Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

Not sure conditions favour much development. We'll see. I'd worry more about the one behind

Thanks Chrissy!

Another low rolling system. If this trend continues, the southern Caribbean/Windward Islands may be in for a rough season.

Keeping both eyes on this one.

Word is it will be TS Don in a short while - Bim should watch too.

From Jeff Masters

Don is likely to be the second tropical storm to affect the Lesser Antilles Islands this year. According to NOAA’s Historical Hurricanes site, this would be the first year on record for the islands to see two tropical storms before August 1. There were two other years that came close: in 2005, Hurricane Emily passed though the islands on July 14, and the tropical depression that would become Hurricane Dennis passed through on July 4. In 1933, a tropical depression passed though the islands on July 14, and a tropical storm hit on July 25. It should give no one comfort that these were the two busiest Atlantic hurricane seasons on record!

 
Chrissy 2017-07-18 07:14:14 

Looks like Don could be a Cat1 by landfall

Wowser. And this is just July.

 
Chrissy 2017-07-18 07:26:59 

In reply to dale_staple

Word is it will self destruct before reaching our way.

As I posted from Masters this is the first time in recorded history that the Windward islands face two storms before August.

 
Chrissy 2017-07-18 10:20:47 

Don running into shear - the good news is he's running faster than Trump runs his mouth 18mph. Should be serious but fast moving rain particularly in Grenada, Vincey and the Grenadines, and some in Bim and Lucia.

Hurricane strength looking unlikely now.

Don has tiny hands lol

In reply to Chrissy

The Southern Grenadines - Canouan ; Mayero ; Union Island; Palm Island; Petite St. Vincent ; the Tobago Cays ; Petite Martinique ; Carriacou & Grenada are all possibly in the Path of Don .

The last I heard the highest Winds are
expected to be around 73 miles an hour . It is expected that the other weather Pattern to be destroyed by Wind Shear in the middle of the Atlantic .

Chrissy ,

It was not your fault , in my haste
I did not make a Paragraph for the
Other Weather Pattern , which is the One that will be broken up by Wind Shear ; hence your belief that I was still referring to Tropical Storm Don .

My Apologies .
