Tropical Weather Forecast - September 19, 2023

We remain in what is typically a very active period of hurricane season. There are no tropical systems heading towards SE Texas. But Hurricane Nigel has grown to a Category 2 Hurricane east of Bermuda.  Nigel is not a threat to the US as it will race NE later this week and track up close to Iceland by early next week! A non-tropical low could form along the east coast of Florida the next few days. This low could become subtropical. Regardless it will bring the threat for some heavy rain & gusty wind to Florida & the Carolinas. Another Tropical wave coming off the west coast of Africa has a high chance to develop into a tropical storm or hurricane.  The next name on the list is Ophelia.
