Gulf Coast Hurricane Tracker

A single source reference on tropical weather predictions. With a traditional focus on the upper Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast we've maintained links to track all Atlantic Basin, Caribbean and eastern Pacific storm systems. We are now expanding our view to tropical storms throughout the world intending to be a comprehensive global storm tracking resource.

New Disturbance in the North Atlantic



At the time of this writing, the Mariners 1-2-3 Chart is showing a new disturbance in the North Atlantic east of Florida and the Bahamas. The chart is live and is continuously updated by the National Hurricane Center so I do not know if this will remain as an active system on the chart or not. The last disturbance was dropped from the chart a day before it became T. S. Erin.

Based on the forward speed indicated, it appears that this is a slow moving system. With the warm ocean water temperatures, such a slow moving system is likely, IMO, to develop further into a depression or even a tropical storm.
