Wednesday 22July Tropical Storm Gonzalo forms (formally TD7) about 1,250miles(2,010km) East of Windward Islands. The earliest 7th named storm in Atlantic...beating 2005 by 2 days, average 7th formation date is September 16.
Estimated winds 45mph(75km/h), moving WNW 12mph(19km/h), pressure 1003mb.
There are several factors involved with this storm on what happens to it next few days (size, intensity, wind shear, dry air, etc) best to see Levi’s video from last night on it for in depth (same vid posted in Hurricane thread yesterday): https://youtu.be/42v3RvN0rbg
Keep in mind tiny storms like this are highly subject to sudden swings in intensity up or down. It’s small size will also help it fight off dry air intrusion to some degree. Model guidance does suggest storm will fall apart in the Caribbean Sea...but 2020 so we’ll see what happens. Residents/visitors of the Lesser Antilles should monitor storm. Tropical Storm Watches (or Hurricane Watches depending what it does next...current forecast is for 65mph max winds but small systems make intensity forecasts very challenging) may be issued for parts of the islands sometime Thursday for direct impacts this weekend.
Official storm stats are released by the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) every 6hours at 5 & 11am/pmEDT/AST here (and will add additional updates at 2 & 8a/p once Watches/Warnings posted per protocol): https://www.nhc.noaa.gov

Not a chance lance. Upper levels down the road won't be kind to this system. So you can forget this one.
Tampa's number is coming when a super cat5 will come up the pipe from the southwest and make landfall north of Tampa bay. More like a 32ft surge. July and the are this system is in is a bad time and area to expect anything to happen with these systems. Upper levels and dry air aloft just kill em up time after time. |
