Hurricane Barbara in Eastern Pacific & TS Cosme. EPAC Gets Great Names. Atlantic Quiet. Use the Quiet Time Wisely!

Barbara is a Hurricane!

An Eastern Pacfic Hurricane.

Relax..........

.....down below the wide view!!

So let's talk a bit and I do mean a bit as it's very simple to see what the story is in the tropics today. Hurricane Barbara and her pal Tropical Storm Cosme are in the Eastern Pacific. This is normal as the EPAC Season begins before the Atlantic does and you can usually count a week to ten days from the activity there until things begin to show promise in our side of the basin. The promise is there will be tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin and this is the time when it is usually slow and that allows you time to properly prepare for times when you are in the Cone or worried on projections that show you may be in the cross hairs.

Note there is an increase in moisture (yellow/orange colors) in the Caribbean and nearing the Caribbean from westbound Tropical Waves. A strong complex came off recently and it's still further East closer to Africa. 

Isn't it interesting if you connected the Barbara and Cosme and drew a line through the Gulf the line would link up perfectly with the yellow/orange area off the Carolinas that continues on that angle out into the North Atlantic?

Truthfully when you see this linkage between basins setting up we are getting closer to go time in the Atlantic. 

I know it's like watching paint dry on June 10th most years. Again, Mother Nature is giving you a chance to get ahead of the game and prepare for Hurricane Season.

Not much more I can or will say. Listening to people on YouTube talk on the tropics in the Atlantic Basin is like the great search for something to say. Time moves fast in 2025 you blink and there's a yellow circle somewhere catching your attention in the Atlantic. 

Have a wonderful Monday and an awesome week! Be back tomorrow, with more tropical thoughts and a little bit of hurricane history.

Sweet Tropical Dreams,
