By WeatherFlow meteorologist Shea Gibson 5/12/18 One of the great things about the new GOES-16 satellite imagery is the ability to see microscale events in high definition far beyond our coast to the east over the Atlantic ocean. Check out these ripples called “von Kármán vortex streets” created from NE flow across the Cape Verde…

There is a bit of a pre-season area of disturbance to be watching for in the tropical Atlantic basin… We are watching this area for Sunday through Tuesday in the western Atlantic as models are coming into more and more agreement for possible tropical activity. The area in question has…
