NHC Bullish on Wave Exiting Africa

NHC New Wave

The National Hurricane Center is very bullish on a wave that hasn’t even exited Africa. The vigorous wave could quickly become the next tropical depression. The season is already off to a quick start with three storms this month - Bertha, Cristobal and Dolly. Dolly could become a hurricane and threaten the Texas or Mexico coast later this week.

Here’s the strongly worded Tropical Outlook from the NHC about the next wave to watch.

A VIGOROUS AND WELL-DEFINED TROPICAL WAVE IS LOCATED OVER WESTERN
AFRICA A FEW HUNDRED MILES EAST OF DAKAR SENEGAL. THIS SYSTEM HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL CYCLONE VERY QUICKLY AFTER IT
EMERGES INTO THE EASTERN ATLANTIC ON TUESDAY.

If this next wave becomes a TD it will be TD5 and if it gets a name it will be Edouard.
