Last week, a pocket of tropical moisture began to develop into an organized area of low pressure. Although not unusual to have tropical systems this time of year, to have one develop in this area of the Atlantic Ocean is somewhat rare due to the relatively cool ocean water temperatures.
The moisture in the Atlantic was incredible this past weekend. Notice the warmer colors in the middle of this image showing tropical moisture.
Here is the satellite picture showing the system.
Lots of dry air pushing into the backend of this system which could weaken it later this week.
Computer model projections keep it stationery.
While this "tropical pocket of moisture" probably won't gather enough steam to turn into a full fledged tropical storm, we are expecting a very active tropical storm season with several landfalling hurricanes or tropical storms along the US coast. More on tha tlater.
