Re: Tropical Storm Harvey Forms in Atlantic

Hi guys,
well just had my first oppurtunity to have a look at Harvey on the visibles, and i nust say i havent seen a system looking like this for quite some time. It looks quite subtropical in nature, as NHC stated yesterday when it was classified. It is giving a real good go at looking like how a tropical cyclone should look though, and if that convective activity over the LLCC continues, it should look a bit better Not sure what the conditions have been like in Bermuda today, but they have been affected by the large curved band removed from the centre and located in the eastern semi-circle. If Harvey organises enough, i think we will see him make it to minimal hurricane intensity, probably around the same time it passes closest to Bermuda. From then on out it looks likely to carry on across the Atlantic over this weekend.

Just also had a very quick look at the wave / low over the east-central atlantic. I think this has a day or two to go at least, before being classified as anything - not organised enough yet really, but showing the signs!

Kind regards
