Looks like the EPAC will see another Cyclone in the next few days.

A NEW AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER HAS DEVELOPED ABOUT 225 MILES
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC. THIS SYSTEM HAS THE
POTENTIAL FOR SOME DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS IT
MOVES TOWARD THE WEST OR WEST-NORTHWEST.

I know, the tropics look more promising on the other side of Panama.

Let's remember that the EPAC always is ahead of the atlantic as it starts more earlier and because of that the peak for that basin is in august while the atlantic is in september.For sure the atlantic will catch up with the EPAC in terms of the numbers.

Lets just get Dora to be on her way... I believe she is hampering the system in the Caribbean.. Looks like the energy is being stolen, for lack of a better word, by Dora to be... Plus it should be creating some shear... Lets get it on westward and see what happens to the Caribbean system.. They are just too close right now

Wow! Great pic of the St John's. That looks like it was taken from about where The Landing is today. Hard to tell how deep that is, but the riverbank is waaaay back from the camera - where those street lights are by that far fence.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing!

It looks like yes Dora will be forming in the next couple of days as conditions are favorable and the models at this first run reconize that.I am going out on a limb to say that this system with the more south latitud has more warm waters to travel has a real chance to be the second hurricane of the EPAC season.
