Development not expected in the Atlantic

A tropical wave continues to be monitored deep in the Atlantic between South America and Africa. There’s no threat to the Carolinas or the US anytime soon. Shower and thunderstorm activity remains disorganized. Conditions are expected to become increasingly unfavorable for development over the next few days while the wave moves west at around 15 mph.

Climatology, the hot spot for tropical development this time of year, is either around the Gulf Coast or near the Caribbean Islands. The areas way out in the deep Atlantic are usually monitored in peak season (mid-August to mid-October).
