> Hello to all...
>
> The Atlantic Tropics have become very active and we have the potential 
> for two more classified systems later today. First of all, Tropical 
> Storm Bertha continues to churn in the North Atlantic. Bertha will 
> remain in open waters and will lose tropical characteristics late
Saturday.
>
> Of more immediate concern is an area of disturbed weather just east of 
> Georgia that is showing signs of organization. A Special Tropical 
> Disturbance Statement has been issued and this system may organize and 
> move up the US East Coast with potential impact to portions of Georgia, 
> South Carolina and North Carolina in the short-term with possible impact 
> in the longer term to Southeast New England per the NWS Taunton 
> Massachusetts Area Forecast Discussion.
>
> Another system in the Caribbean Sea is also showing signs of 
> organization and maybe classifed later today or Saturday. This will also 
> have to be watched for possible land area impacts in the next few days.
