There is a tropical depression about 1100 miles west of the Cape Verde islands this morning at about 12N 41W. This depression will intensify into a tropical storm and then a minimal hurricane this week. It looks like it will reach the Bahamas Saturday and the north coast of Florida on Monday. Right now we are predicting winds of 90 mph over the Bahamas and 75-80 mph at U.S. landfall (assuming it misses Puerto Rico, which is not yet a given).
The low that may become "Danielle" will be quick on the heels of Colin, only a couple of days apart.
The monsoon continues over the West with pockets of very heavy rain across Arizona, New Mexico, the southeast half of Utah and Colorado. A threat for flash floods continues across the region.
It looks like the big heat that has been gripping the South and East will break around August 15th with a noticeable drop in temperatures.
