Good morning! We have a new area of interest in the eastern Atlantic. It has a 20% chance of development over the next seven days. Would be no threat to land if it does form.

This has been a really strange hurricane season. We just had the furthest north forming storm in 150 years, and now we are potentially looking at a Caribbean cruiser in mid-October. The 18z Google Deep Mind ensembles are shown here. Next name on the list is Lorenzo.

Missed posting the Global Tropics Hazards Outlook yesterday. Focus is shifting towards the Caribbean for potential storm development. Medium chances of development over the next few weeks. There is nothing imminent but climatologically that is where we would look for development
