Friday evening tropical update: Latest on Bret and Cindy

Next week, that Ridge building in, we're not going to see much of any rainfall. Quick check of the tropics we have Brett, which is weakening. Boy, really poorly organized as it is starting to encounter wind shear and dry air. Cindy will have an opportunity to further strengthen, but both of these are going to be impacted by not only wind shear but very dry air where they're positioned right now. Note the dry air and wind shear over the Caribbean. Not exactly a dry air mass, but also not exactly a very moist one either over the tropical Atlantic. When we kind of colorize or get a little bit more high definition on the forecast of the dry air moisture. Note both of these systems are going to encounter very dry air. So we'll see Brett dissipate over the Caribbean this weekend and then Cindy probably by early next week. Cindy doesn't look like it will affect land at all. What's interesting about again getting that third name storm so early in the season is that on an average season the first named tropical storm would not happen until. August 3rd, here we go. Yesterday is when Cindy was named and that was June 22nd. So we are running ahead of schedule for an average season. Doesn't mean that's a we'll we'll you know, doesn't mean that's how the rest of the season will go, but certainly a very early active start. However, models are indicating any further development, at least for the time being after Cindy dissipates early next week.
