TROPICS UPDATE: THE REST OF JULY LOOKS CALM THEN WE BEGIN TO PAY ATTENTION

A strong and broad high-pressure system is sprawled across the Atlantic and as far west as the Gulf of Mexico. The circulation around the western nose of the high is pulling tropical moisture across the western Gulf and into the Southeast. The old cold front that brought comfortable weather to much of the northern US is stuck in place across the South because of the strength of the high. That's why it's been so rainy in a belt from Texas to Virginia.

On the south side of the high, the wind flow from Africa is dragging Saharan dust across the tropical Atlantic, the Caribbean, and into the Gulf. Add to the mix, the broad pulse that migrates around the Earth and enhances or suppresses thunderstorm activity called the MJO has been in suppression mode over the Atlantic.

Together, the high pressure, the dust, and the MJO have prevented tropical disturbances moving off Africa from developing. This pattern is expected to last through at least the end of the month.

Around the 1st of August, things get a little murky. The long-range European computer forecast model has been indicating that a disturbance currently in the far eastern Atlantic might develop when it gets near the northern Caribbean islands in about a week. We pay a little extra attention to the European model because, on average, it has made the best forecasts of where a storm will track over the past several years. It is generally NOT especially good at predicting when and where tropical systems will initially develop, however.

None of the other computer forecast models are showing the development, and it's normally the consensus of the best models that ends up being most accurate forecast.

As of now, the consensus is that the disturbance will move through the northern Caribbean as a gusty moisture surge. The European is already backing off the idea that the system will develop, but we’ll keep an eye on it.

The disturbance will have to plow through a lot of Saharan dust on its way to the vicinity of the Caribbean islands. Often tropical systems don't survive that trek.

Long-range projections show that the MJO will be in a mode that supports development over the tropical Atlantic by the middle of August. The support is predicted to be pretty weak, but it was also weak when Hurricane Beryl formed and tore through the Caribbean.

For now, enjoy the calm. Nothing here is unusual. If tropical activity doesn't pick up in August, that will be the surprise.

Hey everyone Meteorologist George Sheldon here with an update on the forecast for the New Orleans metro..

Get your umbrellas ready, because it's going to be a rainy next several days. A few inches or more rain will be possible with the threat for flash flooding, especially in urban areas, each day.

Hey everyone George here with an updated forecast for the New Orleans metro...

One more day of high heat index values on Wednesday before higher rain chances and cloud cover provide some relief to end the week. Heat index readings of 108F to 112F are forecast in most locations Wednesday. Find ways to cool down if outdoor activity is needed and check on those who may need attention
