Only about 10 percent of the normal hurricane season activity takes place prior to mid August. So between now and early October is when 90 percent all the tropical cyclone activity takes place.

So right on schedule 3 tropical waves have exited the African coast and are now making tracks toward the Caribbean. If you are interested you can check in at National Hurricane Centers website and see each distinct are of thunderstorms riding along each wave. The NWS rates each area with percentages of potential tropical development. One area has a high potential for to become a hurricane. This area now is designated Invest 92 and you can see the forecast tracks. It is still early but most weather folk are in agreement that any storm if it were to develope would be in my neighborhood. May have to head to the mangroves to hunker down.

I take comfort in the fact that in about 3 months I'll be making tracks toward the Virgin Islands for another season of sailing! Can't wait.

More later
