Subtropical Storm Laura Forms, no threat to land

Subtropical Storm Laura forms in the North Central Atlantic, moving northward out to sea.

Kyle has made landfall in the Canadian Maritimes as a Tropical Storm.

Not much else is going on in the tropics this week so far.

The trough in the GOM probably will never become much but can still spread a ton of rainfall for some in FL.

Re: Subtropical Storm Laura Forms, no threat to land

With the cool/ cold fronts pushing through the Midwest and Mid Mississippi Valley today we ... should be sealing off the GOM from a great deal of the tropical storm potential.
However... we all remember Hurricane Opal and other October storms over the last decade or so.

Relax but don't let your guard down. And don't eat all of your hurricane supplies yet.

Wait till Thanksgiving !!!

Dr Grey's team predicted three named storms for October (above average). Two hurricanes; one major. He said that the Atlantic is still warmer than it should be.
