Hurricane Season is Upon Us

[Youngblood]

My last prediction of a forming potential storm was on the mark, as I watched a formation off the Cape Verde Islands grow, and slowly move across the Atlantic, weakening, strengthening, to eventually become Hurricane Dolly striking Southwest Texas - Northeast Mexico.

Here is string of storms again bred off the Cape Verde islands moving their way across the Atlantic. The one in red I will be watching more closely as it so far has a westerly projection, keeping it over warmer waters with favorable conditions for growth. Behind it 2 other systems slightly weaker. The stronger the first formation gets, the chances are it saps the energy from the ocean for potential and dangerous growth of the others, but it is in the early stages so this is a first look at them. Much can change as predicting is tricky with so many variables, but it is worth an early look...
