Friday August 8 Update 10:15AM
The low east of the Bahamas has dissipated and there is very little to nothing going on in the tropics right now. It's likely there won't be anything to talk about until the end of next week, but it is August so watching for spin ups is still worth doing.

The latter half of August into September starts the peak of the season, so it would be wonderful if nothing occurs up through then.

For now, nothing, but watch off Africa or the mid Atlantic sometime late next week.

Original Update
With Edouard moving across Texas generating rain, we look to the rest of the tropics, and the old wave (formerly 99L) that was being watched some last week is starting to near the Bahamas, and has a small chance to develop before reaching or after crossing over Florida.

The most likely near term scenario is that it provides an extra boost of rain to the Bahamas and Central/South Florida when it crosses.

Because of the location this will be watched closely over the next few days. It currently isn't being tracked as an "Invest" area, so the usual class of models are not available for it yet.

This is the only game in town in the Atlantic Basin right now.
