00:00Late August, September almost here. This is when the Atlantic is typically a hotbed of activity.
00:05We're watching two disturbances right now. One of these is not that far offshore.
00:10It's a little bit northeast of Bermuda. It'll be steered out to sea.
00:15Small chance to a medium chance that it may organize, but it will be buffeted out to sea by some
00:20upper-level steering winds.
00:21So what really has our attention is actually farther away right now.
00:24A tropical wave leaving the west coast of Africa.
00:26This system will gain more traction in the coming days, and really this one has the best chance of becoming
00:32our first Atlantic hurricane of the year
00:34as it moves through the main development region in the tropical Atlantic.
00:38It will get closer to the northern Lesser Antilles near the Leeward Islands early next week, probably staying north of
00:45there,
00:45but we need to watch this one as it could be lurking off the east coast in about a week
00:50and a half.
00:51There's a lot of shear over the Caribbean that should protect that area from trouble.
00:54Look at the Pacific. We've got seven things to highlight.
00:56We've got a tropical storm, a hurricane, tropical depression, mocha, southwest of Hawaii,
01:01and then five other areas where some development is either possible or likely in the coming days.
01:07None of them will immediately threaten land.
01:09All these greats will beorum of the rain.
