Today we have a tropical wave passing through, but it's not too bad. There's two other waves out there in the Atlantic right now:
- along 39w S of 18n with a 1009 mb low along the wave near 11n moving W near 10 kt
- along 20w/21w S of 17n moving W 15 to 20 kt.

Here's hoping for a safe and sane season...
