Tropics Update: Tropical Depression Omar, Tropical Storm Nana and Three New Tropical Waves
SUMMARY: On September 3, 2020, meteorologist Tim Pandagis reported on Tropical Depression Omar and Tropical Storm Nana, both weakening with Omar expected to dissipate and Nana losing strength after making landfall in Belize. The Atlantic hurricane season peaks on September 10, with three new tropical waves emerging from Africa; one shows a 70% chance of becoming the next named storm. Factors contributing to the peak include lower wind shear and warmer ocean temperatures, which enhance storm development. As the season progresses, heightened activity is anticipated until the end of October, despite a currently lackluster system.
13News Now Meteorologist Tim Pandajis has more on how Tropical Depression Omar and Tropical Storm Nana are weakening as well as the latest on three new tropical waves that are coming off the African easterly coast. Those waves have the potential for development. The next named storm will be called Paulette, followed by Rene.
