In the tropics, Josephine fell apart on Sunday afternoon, and its remnants are well to the east of the Bahamas.  But the hurricane season is ramping up, and we’re watching two waves in the Atlantic.  One wave is about 400 miles east of the Windward Islands.  It has a medium chance of developing once it reaches the central Caribbean in a few days.  Computer models indicate it could eventually enter the Gulf of Mexico, so we’ll watch it closely.  The second wave is in the eastern Atlantic  It has a medium chance of developing in the central Atlantic during the next several days.  We’ll keep a close eye on this one as well.
