8:30 AM EST 1 August 2023 Update
As we enter August, Invest 96L chances have lowered for development to 50% and likely will decrease more as it's generally moving into a more unfavorable area in the next few days. 97L is over colder water and much less likely to develop now.
In general the Atlantic should remain quiet elsewhere for at least the next 8-10 days or so.
8:30 AM EST 30 July 2023 Update
The area that was near Jacksonville that spun up a few days ago, but made landfall before it could get developed is now offshore of Myrtle Beach and now has a 20% chance to develop as it moves out to sea. Thankfully away from any land areas (including Bermuda), this area is now being tracked as invest 97L.
Beyond that the area to the east an area tracked as Invest 96L has a 70% chance to develop, but it also will remain out to sea.
Those at the beaches along SC/NC may want to watch for rip currents.
Outside of these areas nothing else is expected at least for the next week and half or so.
8:30 AM EST 27 July 2023 Update
The area off Florida this morning (a weak surface trough) is not expected to develop but should bring a good deal of rain to the Bahamas and Florida later today, especially along the east coast, particularly the Space and Treasure Coasts, and inland toward Okeechobee and Osceola county..
Out in the Atlantic a wave (not currently tagged as an Invest) has a 40% chance to develop over the next 7 days. It is expected to stay east of the Caribbean islands, but Bermuda may need to watch it later.
8:30 AM EST 21 July 2023 Update
Tropical Storm Don is still spinning in the Atlantic well away from land and expected to dissipate late Sunday or Monday.
The relatively small area in the Central Atlantic (Invest 95L) now has a 40% chance to develop over the next 7 days. Consolidating from a broad area, the currently small size of the low makes intensity a bit more difficult to forecast, so those in the leeward Islands of the Caribbean will want to keep watch on this for Tuesday or Wednesday. Global models tend not to handle the intensity changes in small systems well, but the general rule of thumb for this development area may apply here, where a stronger storm may attempt to go further north in this area where a weaker one would move more to the west. It is very much worth watching next week for the Caribbean.

9:15 PM EST Thu Jul 20 2023 Update
Tropical Storm Don Continues to meander and probably will until Sunday or Monday when it should dissipate. The area in the Central Atlantic is now being tracked as Invest 95L and has a 30% chance to develop over the next 7 days. Those in the East Caribbean islands should keep an eye out, however the area is very wide and may take a while to get going, if at all. If 95L develops it may be a small (in size) storm which may make intensity very difficult to forecast.
4:15 PM HST Tue Jul 18 2023 Update
Former East Pac Major Hurricane Calvin, the first Major hurricane of the 2023 Pacific Hurricane Season, tracked into the Central Pacific and is now bearing down on Hawaii, having regained some strength again after a pronounced weakening. Most intense impacts are likely to be experienced along windward and south-facing portions of Hawaii County.

Original Update
This July, other than Subtropical Storm Don,has been a typical July for the Atlantic Hurricane Season. However there are a few signs on some of the global model ensembles that activity may be on the rise later this month from the ensembles. So there may be something to watch late next week into the following week around the Caribbean, but chances are still low.
However, there's quite a bit of possibility for shear in that time frame, so anything that tries to get going may have a rough time to get going because of that fact. However, sea surface temperatures are very high in many areas around Florida, the Bahamas and in and around the
Caribbean. So anything that does find a window of low shear may have a chance to develop, this is likely the next area to watch beyond Don. The forecast lounge has more on this potential system.
Don has weakened into a subtropical depression but is forecast to regain strength as it loops around in the Central Atlantic.

Calvin in the Pacific should be watched by Hawaii, but colder water temperatures will keep that weak to just be a rain event for parts of the islands, however a Tropical Storm Watch could be issued for portions of the main Hawaiian Islands later today, and interests in Hawaii should closely monitor the latest forecast updates.
