Out in the eastern Atlantic, Tropical Depression 6 formed late Saturday. This is the system off of Africa I discussed for much of the previous week in the tropical updates on News 14 and in my daily discussion and videos.
The system will likely steadily intensify, and should become a pretty decent hurricane. The general consensus amongst the modeling remains that this will bend northward in the Atlantic a bit, but the longer-range GFS and European wind up bending it back a little westward, which would result in it taking an eventual track that leads to some gnashing of teeth around the US East coast by early September. But lots of time between now and then.
On another note, I am on vacation this week, and I will return to the weather office Monday, August 30. This is my week of 'radio silence,' meaning this is the week I 'unplug' from the computer, television, phone, etc.....this is a real re-charge of the batteries for me.
Everyone have a wonderful week, and I will probably be plugged back in enough to make some comments or posts in some capacity by next weekend.
