The tropical Atlantic remains quiet and no tropical development will occur through early next week. A non-tropical area of low pressure made landfall near the mouth of the Atchafalaya River in Louisiana, Saturday evening, causing gales over the northern Gulf, and will provide a soaking rain to portions of the Southeast the rest of the weekend.
There are also a couple of very weak tropical waves to watch. One is south of the eastern tip of Cuba, and the other is south of Puerto Rico. There is very little shower and thunderstorm activity associated with these two waves, and it is unlikely that we will see any significant showers and thunderstorms around them over the next day or two. There is a lot of dry air aloft in this area, and strong westerly winds aloft over the Caribbean are causing shear. There is some chance that the moisture and energy from these waves are pulled northward during the middle of next week into Florida, but even then it is unlikely that we see any development.
