Bret does not look very impressive this morning -- dry air to the north of the storm has been winning the battle against intensification with this storm system and Bret has weakened a fair bit and its presentation on satellite has worsened a good deal since yesterday afternoon. Bret is working into a less favorable environment for tropical cyclones thanks to that dry air aloft and it would not surprise me if the storm weakened a fair bit further in the coming day or two, perhaps becoming little more than a remnant low by this time Thursday morning as it passes between Bermuda and the US coast (see below).
Bret won't even kick up the surf along the East Coast since it's not a very strong system but it is postworthy (although certainly not noteworthy) because it is not only a tropical storm but a sign that the hurricane season is slowly getting its act together. We'll probably have a good deal more to talk about in the coming weeks as the Cape Verde systems start their annual trek across the Atlantic.
