Good morning all!WOW! Talk about quiet. Think I'll go on vacation for the next month!! (j/k).There is absolutely nothing that catches my eye this morning in analysis.An area of convection and showers is still situated just off the SEUS coast. This is associated with a stalled frontal boundry. The same 3 computer models CMC, GFS, and NOGAPS still indicate a couple of lows initiating from this area. The CMC and GFS are a little bullish on the second low, which the...

Good day to all!I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend!!Aye!...the Atlantic...she sleeps.I really see no items of interest...not even that thing NHC was calling 94L. Most of you know or may not know my take on these type of areas. It just seems that the NHC takes more interest in naked swirls sometimes.
