00:00 Tropics continue to roll along

00:01 during the month of October and we

00:03 do have a tropical storm by the way.

00:05 It is Sean.

00:06 It was was a tropical storm.

00:08 Then I want to tropical depression.

00:10 Now it's back to a tropical storm.

00:12 Couple other tropical waves

00:13 were tracking for you by the way.

00:15 One off Africa not worried about that.

00:17 That will dissipate and our other

00:19 tropical wave moving from the

00:20 Atlantic and into the Pacific.

00:21 But here is Sean in the Atlantic.

00:23 Maximum staying winds right

00:25 around 40 mph.

00:25 It continues to move to the

00:27 Northwest at 10 mph.

00:28 We're going to be tracking this as

00:30 we go over the next couple of days.

00:32 But you know,

00:33 as we've been talking about as it

00:35 moves to the West Northwest this weekend,

00:37 it's really going to start encountering

00:38 sheer and really we can share strong

00:40 winds in the middle upper part of the

00:42 atmosphere. I don't think this is going

00:44 to have any impact on the United States.

00:46 Will have to see if some of its

00:48 moisture can get involved with that

00:50 big dip in the jet stream that trough

00:52 coming into the eastern United States.

00:53 Late next week,

00:54 more than likely any moisture

00:56 would be steered out,

00:57 so we'll keep an eye on it.

00:58 By the way,

00:59 Sean was the 18th storm to form

01:01 doing the hurricane season,

01:03 which begins in June last through November.

01:05 We've had 18 storms,

01:06 but total for the year we've had 19 storms.

01:09 We had an unnamed subtropical storm

01:11 during the month of January in the Atlantic,

01:14 so we've had 19 storms,

01:16 six hurricanes,

01:16 12 tropical storms,

01:17 and we've had four impacts

01:19 along the United States.

01:21 Now keep in mind,

01:22 October you don't think as a busy

01:24 hurricane season you're going to

01:26 have a busy hurricane month,

01:28 but it actually is.

01:29 And you start looking closer and

01:31 closer to home for development.

01:32 What we call homegrown development.

01:34 When do we get that big dips in the

01:37 jet stream coming across the eastern

01:38 and central United States that will

01:40 bring fronts or upper low South that

01:42 could start the process of tropical

01:44 development. We do have a big dip

01:46 in the jet stream coming early.

01:48 Well,

01:48 late next week,

01:49 so this is an area to watch.

01:51 We have it highlighted in red.

01:53 Eastern Gulf of Mexico,

01:54 Northwest Caribbean,

01:55 and the Southwest Atlantic.

01:56 Again, beware of homegrown development.
