hi there I'm Fox 13 meteorologist Nash roads with an update on the tropics as we take a look at the storm naming list notice we've gotone all the way down to Gordon and crossed that one off the list as tropical storm Gordon formed in the middle of the Atlantic yesterday Gordon formed 2700 miles away from our Coastline in fact farther away than that that's its current location to put this all in perspective it is in the middle of the Central and Eastern Atlantic at this hour and even though this looks fairly symmetrical here on enhanced satellite imagery it's very disorganized and very lopsided the center of this system is out here on the West side of it with all that thunderstorm activity draped on the east side of it because of the high amounts of Shear that it's currently dealing with out in the middle of the Atlantic uh the National Hurricane Center is taking that Shear into account with its latest forecast cone as it calls on this to weaken into a tropical depression as it moves west southwest over the next few days and then at some point toward the middle of next week likely strengthening and taking a turn back to the north a weakness in high pressure to its North should allow that alley for this to take that turn and models have been consistent on this for at least a week now so fantastic news if it does so that would likely keep it away from the United States and away from most if not all land masses as a whole which would be the first Nam storm that we've had so far this season to avoid making landfall at some point in its lifespan if it does you've got Alberto Chris barl Francine Debbie and Ernesto there all of these making landfall at some point in time enhanced satellite imagery showing apart from tropical storm Gordon we actually have a disturbance that we're keeping tabs on just off the coast of the United States this one's been bumped back up to just a 50% chance of formation over the next seven days from the low chances that it had just a few days ago uh 30% chance of forming over the next 48 hours but it's really into the beginning of next week that we'll be watching for this to have a chance to take on tropical characteristics as it works its way back to the West Northwest potentially toward the Carolinas or Eastern sections of Georgia just something worth watching either way most models keep this on the weaker side likely as a tropical depression or tropical storm and that's if it forms in the first place models are also very divided on if that's going to happen you're looking at the fox model and the European model here each not showing very much the GFS showing a large area of low pressure for instance heading into Monday morning just off the coast of South Carolina all of these forecast models kind of wavering in their indecisiveness if this takes on tropical or subtropical characteristics either way we'll keep you up to speed if that becomes our next name system because there are no other areas of disturbed weather that we're tracking if anything else forms out there we'll keep you updated right here at myfoxhurricane.com
