Earlier today, I was wondering why the NHC hadn't yet classified the large wave east of Danielle (and a bit south) as a tropical depression -- wonder no longer. As of their 8 AM tropical weather outlook, NHC is now saying advisories will likely be initiated on a new tropical depression in the Atlantic later this morning. So the bevy of activity in the tropical Atlantic expected this season appears to be underway, with two storms likely going in the basin by later today. There could be a third by the end of the week or this weekend as watch the next strong tropical wave coming off of the west coast of Africa. More coming later..
