Tropical
Concerns continue to grow this evening as Tropical Depression 9 spins westward towards the Leeward Islands. Right now this system doesn’t look like much at all, largely exposed with little deep convection to speak of. This has a lot to do with dry air it along with all other systems which have crossed the tropical Atlantic […]
HURRICANE GORDON MAKES LANDFALL IN AZORES THIS MORNING All of a sudden the tropical Atlantic has awakened and there is a lot on the table over the coming 1-2 weeks. While we have two circulations well paying close attention to, we see Gordan drifting and die out in the chilly waters en-reoute towards Portugal […]

It’s clear to see from this latest sat image that Ernesto is becoming better organised. She’s now showing signs of stronger, wrap-around convection over the centre with overall shape much more concentric.
