The Groton Weather Blog is just another dimension of the Groton Weather experience. I use the blog for longer range forecasts, updates and more in depth information on major events, as well as educational purposes. Please leave comments any time you wish; I am hoping this becomes more interactive! And be sure to check out the homepage at www.grotonweather.com!

Vigorous Tropical Wave Needs Watching
For days now, models have been saying a tropical wave would develop into a hurricane and churn across the Atlantic. Friday, the system in question came off the coast of Africa as a vigorous tropical wave. This wave has stayed healthy in its first 36 hours over water and could become a tropical depression as soon as this afternoon or evening. Conditions look favorable and the models still agree that this should become a hurricane. The thing the models haven't been agreeing on is where this will go, ranging from Mexico to Maine. Most times with storms that form where this one is, it is somewhere between Florida and Virginia that gets hit. Of course, it is way way way too soon to tell where it will go. The storm is still 10-14 days away from the United States coast. I will be posting updates through the week, so stay tuned!
