CPC keeps the CAG TC risk going into late October.

CPC tropical cyclone potential next week (top) and Oct 22-28 (bottom). At least a 40% chance for development both weeks with the Central American after. Another Cabo Verde African wave storm could form behind Jerry.

Stephen Miller: "Eventually elections don’t carry the day because violence beats votes… When we see a muscular response from the federal government, it’s because we’re not going to let violence beat votes."
