TL;DR: blobs in the Atlantic are no threat at the moment, the storm likely to spin up in the next 24 hours should stay away from everybody. East Pacific storms likewise should stay offshore (but Mario may rain on Baja). TD23 might be a problem for Hong Kong in a few days.
Two disturbances in the Atlantic, only one is an invest area. Disturbance #1 on the NHC Tropical Weather Outlook (TWO) is a system being tracked with the temporary ID AL92. It is organizing, and will likely become a tropical depression or storm later today or tomorrow. But it’s nothing to worry about, model runs have been pretty consistent keeping it away from both the Caribbean and US mainland.
The other thing (Disturbance #2) is a wave coming off of Africa, no tracking yet, nothing to worry about until next week (if then).
The East Pacific remains busy, with Tropical Storm Mario continuing north. It is again weakening, and will likely move inland across Baja bringing rain but that’s about it. Disturbance EP#1 is being tracked as temporary ID EP96, it looks to stay offshore as it develops over the next couple of days.
In the West Pacific, Tropical Depression WP23 should become a Tropical Storm later today and will likely hit Hong Kong, perhaps as a minimal Typhoon. We will have to see how much it spins up. The Invest west of the Philippines looks to remain disorganized but will bring rain to Vietnam.
No big earthquakes recently, but here’s the new global earthquake map showing events over the last three days, just because it’s working now and will be ready if something big does come up …
