Just a quick update since the US President and UK Prime Minister are meeting today to decide when and how to start World War III so those paying attention are a bit freaked out. So we’ll have to use the automatically generated maps today. The TL;DR from a tropics standpoint are things are active, but look less threatening than they did yesterday. Francine is raining out over the Midwest (NHC is no longer tracking it, having foisted it off on the folks in DC). It continues to cause some flooding. Neither invest area is likely to develop, and he disturbance off of the Southeastern US remains a problem for next week.
TD7 might briefly become a tropical storm today and annoy a few fish and fish related activities in the deep Atlantic.
Off of Baja, tropical storm Ileana – Key Messages regarding Tropical Storm Ileana (en Español: Mensajes Claves) – will dump rain on the west coast of Mexico but shouldn’t get strong enough to cause a lot of damage apart from flash flooding and the potential for mudslides (not to dismiss that – just little wind or storm surge):
The previously dire looking Tropical Storm Bebinca will likely become a Typhoon (hurricane) as it crosses the Ryuku Islands, but is then forecast to decay to a Tropical Storm again before landfall in China.
That’s all for today.
