Sunday morning....

Out in the eastern Atlantic, Tropical Depression 6 formed late Saturday. This is the system off of Africa I discussed for much of the previous week in the tropical updates on News 14 and in my daily discussion and videos.
The system will likely steadily intensify, and should become a pretty decent hurricane. The general consensus amongst the modeling remains that this will bend northward in the Atlantic a bit, but the longer-range GFS and European wind up bending it back a little westward, which would result in it taking an eventual track that leads to some gnashing of teeth around the US East coast by early September. But lots of time between now and then.
On another note, I am on vacation this week, and I will return to the weather office Monday, August 30. This is my week of 'radio silence,' meaning this is the week I 'unplug' from the computer, television, phone, etc.....this is a real re-charge of the batteries for me.
Everyone have a wonderful week, and I will probably be plugged back in enough to make some comments or posts in some capacity by next weekend.

Matthew,
Enjoy your time off... maybe you might need it in case the hurricane you talked about does indeed come toward US; then that might cause you to end up working overtime : - )
Can you start doing a pulmonary winter weather outlook? :}. And yes this is the weather girl that sent you the email like 4 years ago. You probably won't remeber me. xD
I would prefer a "preliminary" winter weather outlook, myself! =)
Have a great vacation, Matthew. I'll look forward to the return of the videos next week. I'd like to get some interesting weather sometime soon. Hurricane or early season snowstorm would be nice!
