00:00 I'm Ariella Scalise and as we continue
00:02 throughout the end of the month of July,
00:04 we are still tracking the tropics.
00:05 I want to start off with what we've had so
00:08 far at least into the Atlantic Basin will
00:10 go in alphabetical order with Arlene and
00:12 then we also had Cindy and Brett as these
00:15 storms moved out of the Atlantic and
00:17 Brad eventually pushing into the Caribbean.
00:19 Cindy stay out to the Atlantic so
00:20 three storms so far into the Atlantic
00:22 Basin and then we are also still
00:24 watching tropical storm Don looking
00:26 at winds of 50 mph moving West
00:28 Northwest at 10 mph so picked up
00:30 a little bit of speed here,
00:32 but overall this is not going
00:33 to be a threat to any land.
00:35 We take Don's eyepath here
00:37 throughout the weekend.
00:38 We're likely still maintaining
00:39 strength as a tropical storm and
00:41 then heading a bit farther north here,
00:42 losing a bit of that wind intensity
00:44 by early into the week.
00:46 Then we also look a bit farther South here,
00:48 so there's Don's position.
00:50 There is an area that we have outlined
00:52 here for a medium potential of tropical
00:54 development as we look ahead to July 23rd.
00:57 Through July 25th,
00:58 so watching this area here as this
01:00 tropical wave makes its way towards
01:02 the Caribbean here and may just be
01:04 able to get its act together here
01:06 for that medium chance of tropical
01:08 development. If this storm does gain
01:10 strength enough to get a name,
01:12 the next name on the list is Emily.
01:14 We take a look farther out here as we
01:16 head throughout the rest of our week here.
01:19 We've had a lot of that Sahara dust.
01:21 We still had a lot of wind shear,
01:23 so overall not a whole lot of
01:25 activity going on into the Atlantic,
01:27 but we do have an uptick here as we head
01:29 into August and then into the peak of
01:32 hurricane season into early September.
01:33 We take you out into the Pacific where
01:36 we are watching tropical depression.
01:38 4E winds of 35 mph moving West
01:40 Northwest at 13 mph.
01:41 The next name on the list for the
01:43 East Pacific storms is Dora,
01:45 so this is something that we will
01:47 continue to keep an eye on here as we
01:50 head into the rest of hurricane season.
