00:00Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dexter, now Aaron.
00:03That's the list so far.
00:05Of course, we still have more names to go,
00:06and we're not even ultimately halfway through the season,
00:09not by the curve standards.
00:11If you take a look at it, we're right about here.
00:14So you can see we're on the uphill slide as far as named storms.
00:17We're also on the uphill slide, too, as far as hurricanes.
00:20And it's a pretty quick rise through the latter half of August
00:23to the peak of hurricane season.
00:25September 10th is what we classify as the peak of hurricane season.
00:29So here we go.
00:30We look out into the Atlantic beyond Aaron,
00:32and we are tracking two tropical waves.
00:34One has just pushed off the coast of Africa,
00:37still low risk here for development.
00:39The other one is still over Africa.
00:41So we do have that low threat as well.
00:43So we're tracking those two tropical waves,
00:45plus something a little closer to home.
00:47Look at that.
00:47They're in the Gulf.
00:48You'll find a lot of rainfall just offshore of Texas.
00:53No real circulation to this,
00:54but this is going to march its way inland here.
00:57So we will have a little bit of wet weather to come
00:59with this through southern Texas today.
01:01By tonight, it just becomes a few sprinkles,
01:03maybe some drizzle tomorrow morning and some extra clouds.
01:07Taking a look elsewhere, though, again, in the Atlantic,
01:09those two tropical waves are out here,
01:11and they follow kind of a similar path to Aaron,
01:13which is much further to the west.
01:16What happens, though, is we do have some shear,
01:19but not a lot as these tropical waves move through.
01:22So does that mean they're going to take off?
01:23Well, the other thing that we've found is Aaron actually has kicked up
01:27some more dry air into the backside,
01:28and we might even see some more of that filter in from the north.
01:31So hopefully, as that tropical wave there pushes off of Africa,
01:34there'll be enough dry air to impede any significant development
01:38in the upcoming days.
01:40And luckily, if we're lucky, that would hold for the falling tropical wave
01:44that is still over the continent of Africa at this time.
