Tropics Update Sunday 8/15

The remnants of TD 5 look impressive on satellite imagery this afternoon. I'm still expecting the core of this low to briefly drift over the water in the next couple days. This means it could intensify into a depression or tropical storm depending on how long it remains over water. In addition, latest data has the remnants getting absorbed into the upper level flow and hurled in our general direction next weekend. A lot can happen between then and now, so I would encourage you to keep an eye on the forecast throughout the week. We'll keep you updated!
