Forecasters monitor the chances for multiple tropical storms

AccuWeather

Several tropical storms could form in the Atlantic, including some near the U.S. by the middle of August.

00:00Well, it is early August, and August, September, and October are the three busiest months for

00:06tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin, and there are five things to point out here on

00:12the broader map.

00:14We have Tropical Storm Dexter.

00:15We're also tracking this disturbance here that's going to be backing closer to the Carolina

00:19coast and then likely curving north and northeast.

00:23This could easily become a tropical storm somewhere between, say, the Virginia coast

00:27and Bermuda this weekend, but it will likely stay offshore.

00:30It will send some extra moisture into the Carolinas.

00:32This wave is actually going to make a push into the Gulf with a low chance of development

00:36next week, but then we head out farther into the eastern Atlantic.

00:39Strong tropical wave that will likely stay out to sea.

00:42This one could make a run into the Caribbean.

00:45So Dexter is not going to be with us too much longer.

00:47It's actually strengthened a little bit compared to yesterday at this time.

00:50Racing east-northeast at 16 miles per hour.

00:52It's about equal with, say, Philadelphia or maybe New York City in latitude, but as it

00:56drifts a little farther north, the water's colder, more wind shear.

00:59This storm is on borrowed time.

01:01As we look elsewhere, though, the disturbance that could organize a medium risk between Friday,

01:06Thursday, Friday, and Saturday between the Carolinas and Bermuda.

01:10The core of this will likely stay offshore.

01:12The next wave moves into the Gulf with a low likelihood of development.

01:15But there are two tropical waves in the eastern Atlantic.

01:18One is very likely to organize and likely get pulled north.

01:22The one behind that is still out near the western part of Africa, pulling into the eastern Atlantic

01:28right now.

01:29So we have a strong tropical wave and then another one behind that.

01:32We'll be watching as this first one likely gets moved northwest by that steering flow because

01:38the Bermuda Azores High is far enough east that that will open the door for this to stay

01:42north of the islands probably.

01:43The one behind that will be a greater concern.

01:45And the steering influences are often largely driven by the position of the Bermuda High.

01:52Number two.

01:52Many fingers.

02:00For three.

02:01Thisands are 165.

02:03Three.

02:03One.

02:05Both people atfms in the past.

02:05Three.

02:06One.

02:10Phone Nan.

02:11The three.

02:12We murdered the ovary球.

02:14One.

02:14The three.

02:15It was very interesting to think.

02:16Once you've figured out, goats was six years late now.

02:18What did we want in here?

02:19What did we want?

02:19No.

02:20Yes.

02:20Helk.
