Tropical moisture is surging into Texas as an area of disturbed weather is moving on shore. While the system is better organized, it moves on land Sunday preventing any further development. Flash flooding will be possible, but the rain is much needed in Texas. Saharan dust continues to dominate the tropical Atlantic elsewhere. By the last week of August, there are signs stronger waves will roll off of the continent. The Atlantic basin will become a little less hostile during that time as well.
For the first time since July 13, the National Hurricane Center is highlighting a tropical wave for possible development. The area of disturbed weather is currently over Africa, but is expected to emerge into the Atlantic over the weekend.
