Ten Z van de Bermuda's wordt een nieuw systeem in de gaten gehouden, dat mogelijk al snel tot een tropische storm kan uitgroeien. Interessant is dat het systeem al dusdanig ontwikkeld is, dat het de huidige tropische storm Philippe waarschijnlijk gaat 'invangen'. Verder houdt men al een oogje op een golf ten ZW van de Kaapverdische Eilanden.
(uit de Tropical Weather Outlook)
"An area of low pressure located about 360 miles south of Bermuda is gradually becoming better organized. This system has the potential to become either a tropical or a subtropical cyclone today or Saturday. Little motion is anticipated.
An area of disturbed weather associated with a tropical wave is centered a few hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. This system has some potential for development during the next day or two...as it moves westward over the tropical Atlantic."
(uit de TS Philippe Discussion)
"Philippe is caught in the flow around a larger deep-layer cyclonic circulation centered about 200 N mi to the south. In fact...Philippe now has the appearance of an embedded low-level vorticity maximum...and may no longer have a closed circulation. Since the larger circulation to the south is becoming the dominant weather system...the official forecast calls for Philippe to become absorbed and dissipate within 24 hours. However... if present trends continue...Philippe could dissipate even sooner."
