Still no change in the Atlantic...

Another day has gone by, with no development from the system we are watching well out in the Atlantic. In fact, it is more disorganized than it was about 24 hours ago. However, upper level winds may become a bit more favorable for development over the next 24-48 hours, so there is still a possibility that it becomes a tropical storm. All of our computer data continues to suggest a movement to the northwest beginning Friday morning.

Assuming this indeed becomes a player, we turn our attention to the potential track. Looking at the very latest hurricane model data, the trend continues to bring the storm relatively close to the Mid-Atlantic coast, but staying offshore. This would keep any significant impact confined to coastal communities. While the track is obviously still in question (since the system has not even developed yet), there is very good consensus amongst the guidance. I'll post another update Friday afternoon, and maybe there will be something new to report...
