Sept. 22 Tropics Report


This is Invest 93, which may look impressive until you're told that the storm's center is at the northern tip of the cloud mass. Plus, there's very little rain underneath those clouds. Yes, this storm was on the verge of becoming a named tropical system last night, but it appears to have suddenly fizzled out. The National Hurricane Center has downgraded it's development potential from high to medium.

I'll stop the Tropical Updates for now. I'll make an update if it looks like anything is going to happen in the tropical Atlantic.

UPDATE
: The NHC is now advising that Invest 93 is becoming better defined, and once it moves over water (the center is currently over the Dominican Republic), a tropical depression could form at any time.

Looks like there may be a Sept. 23 tropics report after all.
