East coast/gulf coast friends!!!
We have an area of low pressure, associated with a tropical wave, which is currently centered just to the southeast of the southern Cape Verde Islands (that’s near Africa for those individuals failing geography:silly
, and continues to show signs of organization. Conditions appear favorable for this particular system to become a tropical depression during the next couple of days, as it moves generally westward at 10 to 15 mph. There is a medium chance, 30 to 50 percent, for this system to become a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Meaning, we have the potential for either some great surf, or some deadly surf. This is a mere fyi to be prepared for either scenario. If your skis are down, get them ready. If you do not own a battery powered NOAA Radio, you need to get one, since you receive information quicker and more accurately than that of television broadcasts in said manner (and seconds count), plus your power could go out. No need to reply…this is just a friendly tip…pray for great surf! :hail::hail::hail::brap:
