ORLANDO, Fla. — Odds are up to 70% that we’ll have a tropical depression or #Cristobal over the central Atlantic later this week.

Models are generally in agreement that the system will track toward the WNW, perhaps near the NE Caribbean late this week. The Google #DeepMind A.I. model shows this as well.

The longer-range outlook from the European model keeps the system steering north and eventually away from the U.S., but we’ll keep a close eye on it.

The busiest two months of hurricane season are now underway.
