Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Sat Oct 24 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Epsilon, located over the west-central Atlantic Ocean.

1. Satellite, radar and surface data indicate that a broad area of low
pressure located just southwest of Grand Cayman Island is gradually
becoming better organized, with a better defined wind circulation,
increasing thunderstorm activity and falling surface pressures since
yesterday. Environmental conditions are conducive for further
development, and a tropical depression is expected to form within
the next day or so while the low drifts toward the north and
northwest. The system could move near western Cuba on Monday and
move slowly across the southeastern Gulf of Mexico by Tuesday.
Interests in western Cuba, the Florida Keys, and the Yucatan
Peninsula should monitor the progress of this disturbance. A NOAA
Hurricane Hunter reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate
the disturbance this afternoon. Regardless of development, locally
heavy rainfall will be possible over portions of the Cayman Islands,
Jamaica and Cuba through early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

3. As we sit a a third of the way through the Greek Alphabet

Remember, there is no such thing as global warming. We have burned through our entire alphabet, a third of the Greek alphabet and the Hurricane season is still not over. There are still storms to be named.

As Joe said, Climate change is a threat to humanity.
