TS Gert [TD 8] is that West African Storm mentioned in the Franklin thread.
It should make a Tropical Storm status by Tuesday.
High Pressure over the East Coast should push it way to Mid Atlantic and not hit any land masses, passing West of Bermuda.
______
A very large storm [not cyclonic] has just left West Africa. As has been the trend this 2017 season, they are much further south than recent years.
Good News...
The track it is following, has been travel 4 times this year and de-energized the waters leaving them normal temperatures or low ACE providers. The storm is strung out which inhibits cyclonic formation.
Timing is Tuesday for possible Tropical Depression formation East of the Leeward Islands [just like TD 8]
________
Pacific Coast has a fair weather High pressure which will continue the cooling trend in the NW. Southern Mexico continues like West Africa, spinning off storms much further south.
