Looks like there's a bit of a flare up going on several hundred miles east of the Bahamas. Maybe we should watch there for today.
I was just looking through some archives through sheer boredom, and I couldn't help but notice that July 28th is normally a quiet day in the Atlantic basin. Out of the last 55 years, only 13 have had a tropical system on this date.

There, that took up some time. Looks like the dry streak in the tropics will continue.
Are you getting much rain up in Long Island, Phil? You said you could expect 36 hours worth, yesterday.
And finally - Old Sailor, have a great birthday on Sunday!
