Another fish spinner after it passes Bermuda. Looks like any remnant might end up in our neighbourhood by next w/e if it sticks together that long...

Looks like it could become the first hurricane of the season too.
Its already quite late for the first hurricane to form, even though there has already been a lot of tropical storms.

Wertz

Increased it's windspeed overnight and tracked a bit more west of north. Sun should be rising over it around now and get some more convection going. Low number of hurricanes seems to be down to a lot of high level winds rather than lack of warm water.
Some interesting systems rolling off W African coast this morning too...
