I have been watching 3 storms leaving West Africa for 5 days. The first is a wimp, disorganized storm between Cuba and Antiqua which should not become cyclonic.
But the next 2 storms are very noteworthy.
Tropical Depression 9 [Storm A]
Is 800 miles east of the Lesser Antilles moving fast, due West, and will be over the Antilles in 2 days.
They're sending the Hurricane Hunters to investigate it tomorrow morning.
They don't send them unless there is at least 50:50 chance of becoming cyclonic.
My rough calculations would put that Storm A , south of Haiti in 5 Days.
At this time, there is Pushing High Pressure now centered over Colorado, that should keep Storm A from entering the Gulf, but is a matter of close timing.
________
Storm B
This is just leaving the African coast and is 800 miles West of the Cabo Verde Islands and should be where Storm A is now, in ≈4 days.
THIS one is perhaps the first big potential of this season.
Why do I bring it up now, 10 days before the News?
Do your storm preparations soon and not when there are no batteries in the store.

Both storms are expected to travel over, near normal temperature waters.

PS: I call them storms since they are not cyclonic, so far.
