Conditions basin-wide in the Atlantic may be flipping from unfavorable to slightly favorable as we enter the back half of July. This could allow for more than just home-grown systems to stand a chance for at least a little while.
As noted by Andy Hazelton, Associate Scientist at the University of Miami CIMAS, on XQuote:
Recent trade wind patterns (weakened across the Atlantic, stronger across the East Pacific) have led to warming of the Atlantic MDR and cooling of ENSO. The Atlantic is now slightly warm relative to the global tropics, in a more favorable configuration than we've seen since Spring.
