First Week of September May Yield Two Atlantic Tropical Systems

August 28, 2013; 8:15 AM

There is a chance that not one, but two systems may develop in the tropical Atlantic next week, during the early days of September.

 

According to Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski, "With the changing atmospheric conditions over the entire basin now, we could have at least two systems organizing this weekend spanning the area from just off the coast of Africa to the Caribbean and the eastern Gulf of Mexico."

 

If either of the two systems were move into a zone with without disruptive winds, development from a disturbance to a depression, tropical storm or hurricane could occur quickly. The water over much of the basin is warm enough to sustain tropical systems.

The six weeks from September to early October is traditionally the busiest part of the hurricane season.
