Tropical Update: Don Disappears, Atlantic Activity

Tropical Storm Don strengthened a little last Thursday only to completely fade once it interacted with the South Texas coast - something that many Texas residents, believe it or not, did not want to happen. They need all the rain they can get right now and Don, now a tropical depression, looked like it would provide some relief, but Texas residents in drought stricken areas will have to wait a little longer before seeing any significant rainfall!

Do you live in the area where Tropical Storm Don was expected to make landfall? Let me know how you and other Texas residents are dealing with these rough hot and dry times!

Meanwhile, there's some additional tropical activity brewing in the Atlantic Ocean. There's a tropical wave right around Central America. This area of tropical activity is not expected to develop into a tropical depression or anything further at this time.

Behind that tropical wave is a large area of low pressure in the open Atlantic waters. It's highly likely that this low will form into a tropical depression before reaching the Leeward Islands early next week. This area of concern will need to be closely monitored for further development and could potentially become Emily, our next named storm of the 2011 Hurricane Season.



Could that large low pressure system become a storm that eyes Texas or does it have other plans in mind? We'll have to wait and see and you can check back here for any significant changes.

Right now, the Pacific is pretty quiet in terms of tropical weather. There are just two small waves that are unlikely to see any development.
