No shortage of warm water with SST 82-85ºF.
For sure, probably an 80 mph storm when it hits.
Im more concerned about whats coming off of Africa over the next few weeks.
1. A tropical wave located a few hundred miles southeast of the Cabo
Verde Islands continues to produce a large area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms. Gradual development of this system is
expected, and it could become a tropical depression late this week
or this weekend while it moves westward to west-northwestward across
the eastern tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.
