Atlantic Basin - Active Storms
AccuWeather Atlantic Basin Overview
Hurricane Summary POSTED: November 21, 2009 6:37 p.m.
No Tropical Development is Expected
The tropical Atlantic remains quiet and no tropical development will occur through early next week. A non-tropical area of low pressure is over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, which has caused
gales over the Gulf, but this will move inland over the southeastern United States tonight.
There are also a couple of tropical waves to watch. One is south of the eastern tip of Cuba, and the other is south of Puerto Rico. There is very little shower and thunderstorm activity associated
with these two waves, and it is unlikely that we will see any significant showers and thunderstorms around them over the next day or two. There is a lot of dry air aloft in this area, and strong
westerly winds aloft over the Caribbean are causing shear. There is some chance that the moisture and energy from these waves are pulled northward during the middle of next week into Florida, but
even then it is unlikely that we see any development.
