The KATC Tropical Threat Index is on the rise for the rest of this week and into this weekend as a disturbed area of weather in the Caribbean continues to show signs of slow development. I developed the Threat Index to highlight weekly tropical threats as we head into the most active part of the hurricane season.
The Threat Index is derived through utilization of information gathered from the National Hurricane Center, tracking the Global Madden-Jullian Oscilliation, all global and tropical weather models and current satellite and observational trends.
With a 60% chance of the Caribbean disturbance developing into a tropical cyclone, the risk of a depression appears “moderately high” over the next 48 hours and a potential tropical storm assessed at a “moderate” risk, near 40%. Hurricane Hunters are scheduled to probe this system Wednesday.
Look for updates on this product daily on KATC. Rob
I love the new Hurricane Map and how it views the region or state without loading a new page.
Hopefully we will not have to use it too much this season.
