Tropics
A tropical wave — ’91-L’ — continues moving slowly over the Eastern Atlantic but appears to be battling a good deal of dry air. Some forecast models now dissipate this wave while others still develop it.
There may be a threat to parts of the Northeast Caribbean mid to late next week if it becomes “Gabrielle”. Too early to forecast beyond that point.
The overall conditions over the Atlantic will favor tropical development over the next several weeks whether it’s ’91-L’ or some other system/wave(s).
