As of 8:00 AM EDT Mon Aug 11 2025...
Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL97):
Shower and thunderstorm activity has persisted and continues to
show signs of organization with a well-defined area of low pressure
located just to the west of the Cabo Verde Islands. If these
structural trends continue, the system is likely to become a
tropical depression or storm, possibly as soon as later this
morning. Locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds are expected to
continue today across portions of the Cabo Verde Islands, and
interests there should monitor the progress of this system.
Regardless of development over the next couple of days, the system
is expected to continue moving westward to west-northwestward at 15
to 20 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

3. Well we sure have time to prepare

for wherever this one hits

4. Yes we do

The older I get the more I hate this time of the year.
We have a new roof to hide under this year, so that’s a help psychologically.

5. Same here

I live for hurricane season to end with as little damage as possible.
This one should turn they say.

7. We'd all better be rooting for Erin to turn and become a fish storm

If it hits any of the islands, the US or Canada all bets are off re how Major a hurricane this will be. Lots of very hot water to help this one strengthen.
