Mainly because there is nothing in the forecast to recurve it into the central Atlantic.
Good observation at this time. We have to have a strong front to come through or a major shift in the jet stream to curve those storms.
Tried to post in news but it got moved to chat - sigh. There were two previous threads on this but it was not an official tropical depression yet; now it is.
I’ve sensed a great deal of hostility from some to all tropical-related (or in some cases just plain weather.) things - guess from people not on the Atlantic or Gulf coasts, or that perceive every MENTION of anything tropical as “global warming hype.”
I’m just wondering at what point an official system (which many people spend time discussing here) gets to escape from “chat” to “news” (much less “breaking.”)
