Hurricane Harbor: Tropical Storm Andrea Forms in Atlantic. What Else to Watch? Late June is Homegrown Season...Stay Tuned.

Tropical Storm Andrea in the Atlantic.

Full fledged tropical storm.

The name Andrea should remain on the list.

From Zoom Earth website.

Beautiful little A storm.

Earthnull and Zoom Earth respectively.

Where do we go from here?

Let's take a look at the basin.

I've always loved a black and white WV loop.

In the East we see a strong tropical wave.

Strong for June...strong swimmer.

Round ball of moisture in MDR.

Moisture is getting into the Carib

Water temperatures in the Gulf are HOT.

And to the East of Florida .....

....is an interesting "setup"

There's moisture out there....

...caught in a strong flow.

It's actually "like" an Upper Level Low.

ULLs have a dirty side (rain/storms)

Blue WV Loop.

This will continue on it's journey.

Discussion from NWS Melbourne.

Stormy weather from this "feature"

Four days ago the NHC said there would be nothing for the next 7 days. I pointed out the many areas where something could pop up this time of year, even when when it's not on our short term radar. The next day we had a yellow area of interest pop up with very low, yellow chances and shortly after that they put up an Invest designating it Invest 90L. That's very rare. Very, very rare and this is what we mean by pop up systems when all seems quiet and nothing will get a name until July. It's actually very common for a short lived tropical or subtropical storm to pop up off the East Coast in June. You can see below.
