The weirdness may continue should a potent tropical storm or hurricane spin up next week more so from the Central America gyre rather than a tropical wave over the Atlantic Ocean.
“Given how warm waters typically are in the region and energy from the Central America gyre, there is the potential for any system that forms over the western Caribbean to the central Gulf to quickly intensify and track into the U.S.,” DaSilva said.
There will likely be some stiff breezes (wind shear) near the U.S., but systems that move with the shear rather than against it are sometimes less negatively affected by it, DaSilva explained.
AccuWeather has designated the formation window from Sunday, Sept. 22, through Friday, Sept. 27. This only represents the period when a tropical depression or storm may form and not the entire life cycle. Any landfall could occur days after the formation period.
Residents, visitors, fishing, shipping, and cruise interests from Central America to southeastern Mexico, Cuba, the U.S. Gulf Coast, the southern Atlantic coast, and the Bahamas should monitor the situation.
